I got it for about US$500. You can order new one from Nissan. I'm sure will be a lot more.

Nissan spruce on things like a steering wheel are nuts. In USA likely that nismo wheel will cost 1300 retail. Yet I'm sure a 2015 zo6 steering wheel sans airbag will be $300. I bought honda leather wheels sans airbags for $160 bucks. But somehow even a base model nissan wheel retails for a grand.


Anyway I see on ebay someone selling refurb steeling wheels that copy this design. They ask $600 which is still nuts. But hopefully more people start doing this and drive down costs because that steering wheel and the reactors would be a nice addition to my 2013

People like me.... What are you trying to say. Lol Admittedly I can be overly cost conscious at times I just find the pricing to be way outta whack versus everyone else. I don't benchmark against Ferrari as that would be Like pricing a Rolex against a timex. If you could buy a Ferrari wheel for 300 you would see Honda civics all over rocking a Ferrari wheel. But forget nismo, look at a base model z wheel oem list. It's a mass production steering wheel not über limited highly sought after titanium/dry carbon/alligator skin/ with integrated iPad wheel.

In that case shouldn't you keep it as close to stock as possible?

Yep, but anything can upgrade to newer version Nismo. Or anything hard to get I'll replace.
