Default JDM Steering Wheel Swap

I was wondering if a DC2 ITR steering wheel would fit on my 6GEN or any JDM Honda steering wheels for that matter.

I prefer this steering wheel over the TL-S swap, so inputs and advice are welcome.

btw, I'm also working on swapping in a JDM H22 this summer for the following reasons...

1.) I want more power
2.) I originally wanted a turbo, but I have 4 door/LX/6Gen/automatic, thus boosting to only 6 psi isn't going to do it for me (197HP *shop estimate*).
3.) H22 seems more "economically" practical
4.) I love driving manual

So if I'm gonna buy a complete JDM H22 for approx. $2500, and have a shop install it for me (I work at a Honda dealership ), would it be better to have a 200HP w/5 speed, rather than a Turbo running at 6 Psi on an auto?

Thanks

Personally I'd do the h22 and 5spd swap. Don't expect to put up great numbers with a stock h22, but it's one hell of a motor, and a great platform. I'd say go the turbo route if you are truly dedicated to it, but I'd first upgrade those tranny internals because the stock slushbox isin't going to take much abuse. Good luck with it man

yeah.. i'm pretty sure the steering wheels would fit.. the base between my civic, accord, and s2000 are the same.. and considering that the civic and integra's are based on the same platform, i'm sure they're compatible.

if it's simply for looks.. everyone has their own taste i guess..

for functionality, i love my tl-s wheel.. much beefier than the accord one, the perforated leather has excellent feel to it.. even more so with race gloves.. i actually like the feel of the tl-s wheel over the s2000 wheel..
