Evo 9 Steering wheel?

Didnt know where to post this, but does anyone out there know where I can find myself an Evo 9 steering wheel? Obviously I can go to my mitsubishi dealer and probably order one but they are going to charge me an arm and a leg for it so I was wondering if there are any vendors out there that anyone knows of that is selling this steering wheel? Thanks alot in advance everyone.

Bobby

I would avoid it like the plague if the leather separation problem at the 6 o'clock position is as common as i've noticed since i made a thread about it a while back.

There is someone selling a steering wheel in the For Sale section. I dont know what the difference is between the 8 and 9 ones though. Mine was just replaced for seam seperation. Good think I brought it up before my 36k/3yr warranty expires.

the 9's metal is a darker, gunmetal color, compared to the silver of the 8's

Haven't heard of this problem before. Can you link us?

You can probably find a steering wheel in the private classified. A lot of people part out their cars/interiors so you might be in luck there.
