The CorkSport Performance Steering Wheel was designed to be a direct OEM replacement. It works flawlessly with the OEM steering column, covers, button panels, and airbag for a stress-free 30-minute installation. Check out the images below: On the left shows exactly what you would receive in the package. On the right is a fully assembled steering wheel with all the OEM components.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"865\" height=\"303\" src=\"https:\/\/www.corksport.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Screen-Shot-2015-03-25-at-5.10.49-PM.png\" alt=\"Installing Mazdaspeed 3 Steering Wheel\" class=\"wp-image-7497\" srcset=\"https:\/\/corksport.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Screen-Shot-2015-03-25-at-5.10.49-PM.png 865w, https:\/\/corksport.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Screen-Shot-2015-03-25-at-5.10.49-PM-300x105.png 300w, https:\/\/corksport.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Screen-Shot-2015-03-25-at-5.10.49-PM-500x175.png 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Now I have to admit, when this product idea (Big thanks to Brett Ross!) came across my desk, I was a bit skeptical. I\u2019m not one to spend money on aesthetics on my <a href=\"\/mazdaspeed-3\/\" title=\"\">Mazdaspeed 3<\/a>. So we got a prototype manufactured, and I installed it in my car to begin the R&amp;D process. Within minutes, I was sold\u2014and not just by how good it looked in my 09\u2019 MS3, but by\u00a0how much more connected I felt with the car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"564\" height=\"530\" src=\"https:\/\/www.corksport.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Steering-Wheel-2.png\" alt=\"Mazdaspeed 3 Steering Wheel for Better Driving Experience\" class=\"wp-image-7498\" srcset=\"https:\/\/corksport.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Steering-Wheel-2.png 564w, https:\/\/corksport.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Steering-Wheel-2-300x282.png 300w, https:\/\/corksport.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Steering-Wheel-2-500x470.png 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 564px) 100vw, 564px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>While driving I saw the value in a <a href=\"https:\/\/corksport.com\/blog\/2010-2013-mazdaspeed-3-steering-wheel-release\/\" title=\"It\u2019s finally here: The Gen 2 Mazdaspeed 3 Steering Wheel\">performance steering wheel<\/a>\u2014things like the hand-wrapped and stitched leather that has a slight texture and plush feel to it. The perforated leather in the high-use areas is a great addition so your hands won\u2019t get clammy on spirited drives. The wheel diameter is the same, but the thickness of the wheel has been increased, which is much more comfortable for long drives and canyon carving. The flat bottom gives it a more aggressive feel and actually makes it easier to get in and out of the car since I\u2019m 6\u2019 2\u201d tall. All that said, probably the most exciting feature of the CorkSport Performance Steering Wheel are the aggressive thumb grooves. These help you lock your hands in place, giving you more confidence in the twisty roads and while fighting the lovely torque steer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"672\" height=\"468\" src=\"https:\/\/www.corksport.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Steering-Wheel-3.png\" alt=\"Why You Need a New Mazdaspeed 3 Steering Wheel\" class=\"wp-image-7499\" srcset=\"https:\/\/corksport.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Steering-Wheel-3.png 672w, https:\/\/corksport.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Steering-Wheel-3-300x209.png 300w, https:\/\/corksport.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Steering-Wheel-3-500x348.png 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Trust me when I say, you need to try the CorkSport Performance Mazdaspeed 3 Steering Wheel.
