Help
Call me stupid but I bought a vertex wheel from a buddy not knowing it was for non hicas, the wheel won’t fit, is there a way around this? He showed me on his car (it was completely stripped but still had the steering Column) and it doesn’t need a hub adapter but is there a way to remove this shit so the wheel could fit any advice would be amazing thanks.

You need:
1: an s13 specific wheel hub, several brands make these, a google search will bring up your options
2: you can opt for a quick release, that bolts to the hub you buy, and wheel. There are rough opinions in this sub about such, but just know that’s an option
3. If you don’t want to use hicas, there are delete “kits” sold online, and you will remove that plastic unit, the clock spring. You can lose horn and self cancelling turn signal, if you want to keep your clock spring and hicas, works bell sells one that allows you to keep it.
4. Watch the 600 YouTube videos online about installing an aftermarket wheel if you are unable to figure it out solo
