Curious,
Has anybody done it? Wondered whether you could get the stereo controls to link up, my wife would love it. I have a pre-airbag van, so would run it without the bag.

As per NB's link above, it has been done with Mazda 6 wheel. I've got one in the garage for when I get a few spare hours to fit.

I did mine and so did a mate, piece of cake - have a search you'll see a post by me.

Mine was with airbag and his was without - only thing to sort is two grooves cut into the back of the RX8 wheel to match the indicator cut outs and wire the horn.

Ah yes, teach me for posting at silly o'clock.
I may give this a go at some point, many other jobs to do first though, but it sounds like a laugh.
