Ok, I just came back from another long trip, and I'm happy with the car, except for the steering wheel. It is a 3 spoke wheel, with a 2" wide spoke at the 6 o'clock position. My other cars have 4 spoke wheels, with an opening at the bottom at the 6 o'clock position. I like to drive on the freeway with my hand on the bottom of the wheel, and I can't do that in the Altima. After a few hours of driving, it really becomes uncomfortable because I can't hold the wheel where I want. I've seen the new Altima wheel, and it has the opening where I want. Will it fit on the '06? Is it going to be difficult to do? Is there another option I'm not thinking of? etc., etc. Any ideas welcome. Thanks
