Yoke style steering wheel for a twin?

Does anyone know of a yoke style steering wheel that will work in the BRZ?

Something like this:



or this:



or this:



I am interested in these types of shapes without all of the extra "bling".

Anyway - just curious if anyone has something similar installed. A pic would be awesome!

Thanks in advance.

You would lose a fair bit of leverage if you actually do anything with your car.

I agree with OP in that the wheels pictured have WAY too much bling.

I can certainly see how an asymmetrical wheel would be beneficial when using our ridiculous paddle-shifters though. Still not my style, but I get it.

seem like it would make turns a bit difficult, especially of you need to turn the steering more than once

You don't a wheel shaped like that. You will hate driving your car after a while.

Cusco has a flat-bottomed steering wheel that keeps the factory airbag. So does Prova. The ones posted above look like a $20 playstation 1 steering wheel.

I have this steering wheel in my SRT-4 (got it like 5-6 years ago) and I hate it now. The black and red goes nice with the car but DD with it sucks. Once I got my FRS I really appreciated having a round steering wheel again.

I drive a vehicle with a yoke style wheel all the time. and it works in that because it's a quasi formula car and the rack only has one full turn lock to lock. I wouldn't want that in my FR-S. I like to know that whenever i turn the wheel there will be something to grab on to. A flat bottom wheel is pretty cool looking, but an actual yoke style wheel is a no go in anything thats not a formula or go kart.

pic of said wheel.
