G6 Steering Wheel in 3rd Gen T/A

I got this idea today when I took my mom's 2009 G6 GT for a spin to the grocery store. Has anyone taken one of these steering wheels: Name:  G6Steeringwheel.jpg

I can't say for 100% sure, but MANY of GM's cars use the same spline on the steering wheels; If I had to guess, I'd say it will probably fit.

The probably for me with newer wheels is the stupid radio controls on them - I don't want buttons on my steering wheel that don't do anything in my car.

emblems are interchangable, and yes, its modern, but generic at the same time, and alot cheaper im sure.

Like I said I like the g6 wheel and I think it came in several modern pontiacs. Prolly all their small cars. Gotta think you could pull one out of a junkyard super cheap

The Saturn Aura has the same wheel.... I think the new Malibus is the same in design but they all have controls for the DIC and cruise. But why would you want such a large diameter steering wheel?

Re: G6 Steering Wheel in 3rd Gen T/A

Pretty much every GM car can be optioned with that wheel from the cobalt to the corvette. I'd be surprised if you couldn't find a nobutton version for a decent amount.

Re: G6 Steering Wheel in 3rd Gen T/A

I know this post is old but it doesn't fit, god knows why but the g6 wheel bore is 1-2 mm smaller than the steering column shaft. They have the same number of splines so I am thinking about filling each spline to get it to fit PITA. I am still contemplating a solution.
