These are threads that have any information relating to the Juke wheel. The only difference would be the square bottom.

Fully round vs square-ish steering wheel, alcantara vs leather


Nismo airbag steering wheel

I am guessing that this is not an OEM wheel, since I do not believe any OEM Nismo steering wheels (Juke or 370Z) are flat bottom.


Most likely this is an aftermarket wheel that would fit both.


Has anyone tried the Ebay flat bottom steering wheels on Ebay?

Look up Jalisco Carbon Fiber. I had a wheel made. It's Red perforated leather, carbon fiber flat-bottom. Looks awesome! Only 400 bucks.

I bought something very similar on ebay. It's a flat-bottom wheel with a slightly wider red stripe at the top than the one you're showing. I suspect they just modified an OEM steering wheel, because it's a perfect fit. I'm happy with it.
HOWEVER, my main reason for buying it was to get a little more legroom. (I have long legs.) The flat bottom wheel made no appreciable difference.

Yeah, it's a Nissan Blank wheel and they make it fit all stock controls. Very nice work!

I'm using one from a FB seller. CF with thicker rim, flat bottom, alcantara inserts, contoured at grip points. Super high quality and fit with the airbag module. PM me if you're interested in the seller as they offer more options. Price was $550 shipped and no core required.

I ended up ordering one from reggiescustomwheels. I didn't go with the Alcantara I hear it breaks down in no time.

The cheap stuff does

The good stuff lasts years and wears slowly.
