For some reason it got installed on the wrong side of the vehicle.

Is there a crash test?

It looks good, like a really good OEM one. Shame about the grips, even if they were comfortable it prevents a 10-2 driving position 🤔

But positions the hands perfectly to use the shift paddles?

I find a 9-3 hand position far more comfortable anyway. Many OE steering wheels encourage a 9-3 position these days.

I think this is due to the dangers should the air bag deploy and one is holding at 10-2?

The core is OEM. I got the wheel installed at Lexus.

I've always thought the paddles are far too short but the airbag safety issue would explain why. I find 9-3 comfortable but @Big Rat made me swear on pain of death to always use 10-2, so that's what I do now!

I spoke to Ratty about this. He told me that getting your tyre pressures right is more important.

Yikes - five to nine - time for a cup of tea!
