    Is there a difference between the 2- I know some 2.7s came with an non-airbag wheel but would a 2.7 wheel with an airbag fit a 5.2 car no problems?

    I’m not aware of any physical differences between any of the 355 airbag wheels... except none of them likely work anymore. :D

    my 95 is the same as my 97 and is the same as my friends 99...

    debating getting mine recovered- also debating buying a crappy core from eBay etc and getting that recovered instead. Anyone have any recs for a good leather guy while we’re here?

    You would think there would be at least some decent cores on ebay. I'd keep looking vs recovered. I've got a pretty decent extra one, but I would only sell with the airbag of course. From a 2.7.

    I know they can't be trusted...but I can't recall the last time I've seen a 355 at copart or similar where the airbags hadn't popped when it looks like the impact warranted it.

    I have a 5.2 wheel that has been recovered with Australian Kangaroo hide. It's awesome. I'm happy to post as I have sold my car. It's just sitting in my Garage. It only looks different were the original horn impressions are not there.
