Does it include the air bag hubcap, side trim panels? Is the wheel P/N 32342228230?
I recently priced this out with my dealer. <$400.00 depending on discount %age. But, the glitch is the airbag hubcap - $700!!. The airbag on the standard wheel, as in my car, does not fit the sport wheel. Any thoughts?

ohh that wheel. what you have to do is overnight it to me and i'll let you know how it looks and feels and turns out!

and that doesnt have an airbag so just a plug for the horn.

does it have wires coming out of the slip ring?
