2007 steering wheel upgrades, what’s out there?

[VespaGTS]

Hi everyone, I have a 2007 Legacy GT wagon 5EAT. I’ve seen a lot of options for steering wheels out there, but none of them seem to show 2007 as a viable year. I have the shifter controls on both sides of the wheel where the radio controls would be in an 08-09. I guess I could just get the wheel wrapped, but I would prefer to go with a DAMD wheel if possible?
 

Will a steering wheel for a 2005–06 also work with my car or will the shifters mess with fit? 
 

I’m also looking at having the wheel wrapped, but the prices are all over the board and nobody is local to me. 

Thanks in advance!

I’m in the same boat, an 07 LGT wagon w AT and the shifter buttons next to the airbag. My wheel was peeling apart when I bought the car. Got an OEM replacement and was still underwhelmed. Thru the magic of this forum discovered the Zero Sports option for Legacy’s. It’s by far my favorite upgrade/mod on my whip simply for driver interface. It’s beefier in width and slightly smaller circumference than stock and def gives that racewagon feel. When my enthusiasm for owning a 16 year old car fades, the wheel always reignites it.

Did you order direct from ZeroSports? Cost? Looks great by the way...

I did a search and it seems unattainable.

It’s been years, I want to say in the $3/400 range. There was a member/vendor on here (HKC speed, idk how active now) that I got it from. Initially got one w red stitching then swapped before install when I found out there was a black on black option. Quick browse just brought one up on croooober for under $200. Happy hunting.

that looks exactly like OEM Outback XT 2007 with MOMO instead of Zero Sports

 

really nicely made Steering Wheels with time spent on Stitching

 

i personally never use the Steering Wheel Shift Buttons but nice to have them there

I picked up this Damd one that I am planning on installing at some point this year, just trying to get things sorted in terms of wiring it as I will be going from an 07 steering wheel w/controls to an 08 Steering wheel w/controls. Audio controls are straight forward, but looking into adding the Si control/info cycle. Image below is identical to the wheel I have and only missing the SI drive controls on the wheel in the attached picture.

$300-shipped for the 08-09 D shaped wheel (had faded red stitching which I have fixed)

$100-STI 08-09 airbag & airbag cover(found local)

Bought an 08-09 steering wheel for the newer buttons(cruise, stereo, & SI controls), and sold the wheel & Airbag so buttons & wiring were free basically.

 

A new D shaped wheel will run you anywhere from $600-$1000k depending on where you get it from.  So Crooober is definitely you best place to find it for under $400

I sold and installed more DAMD steering wheels than anyone else in the US when my shop was open.  Not cheap, but far better than OEM.  All my Subies had them.
