Best Aftermarket Steering Wheels for the Nissan 370Z and Infiniti G37
The stock wheel gets the job done — but the right aftermarket steering wheel transforms how the car feels from the moment you sit down.
Nissan 370Z
Infiniti G37
VQ37VHR Platform
Carbon Fiber & Alcantara
The Nissan 370Z and Infiniti G37 share the same VQ37VHR engine, the same driver-focused platform architecture, and — until you start modding — the same unremarkable stock steering wheel. The OEM unit is functional, but it's thick, plain, and designed by committee. It doesn't tell you much about the road, and it definitely doesn't reflect what these cars are actually capable of.
An aftermarket steering wheel is one of the most impactful interior changes you can make. Unlike bolt-on exterior pieces, this is something you touch every single drive. A wheel that fits your hands better, weighs less, and puts the right materials against your palms will genuinely change how connected you feel to the car — whether you're carving a mountain road or logging daily miles.
In this guide we're breaking down the best aftermarket steering wheels for the 370Z and G37 — covering carbon fiber options, alcantara grips, LED-integrated units, and what actually separates a quality wheel from one that just looks good in photos. Every pick below is available directly from Chaser Automotive with OEM-compatible fitment and no sourcing headaches.
What to Look for in a 370Z/G37 Aftermarket Steering Wheel
Not all aftermarket steering wheels are built the same. Before you pull the trigger on any wheel, there are a few things worth understanding — especially on the VQ37 platform where OEM compatibility can make or break the installation experience.
OEM Hub Compatibility: A quality aftermarket 370Z/G37 steering wheel should retain OEM control functions and maintain airbag compatibility where applicable. Always verify before purchasing — the wheels in this guide are designed for direct OEM fitment on the Nissan 370Z and Infiniti G37.
- Grip material — Perforated leather, full leather, alcantara, and suede all offer different tactile experiences. Alcantara provides the best grip during spirited driving; leather is easier to maintain long-term.
- Wheel weight — The VQ37VHR has a naturally responsive rack. A lighter steering wheel lets that feedback come through cleanly rather than being dampened by mass.
- Diameter — Most performance aftermarket wheels in the 350–370mm range feel more direct than the larger OEM unit. Smaller diameter = quicker steering feel with less arm movement required.
- Added functionality — Some wheels integrate LED shift indicators directly into the rim. If you push the VQ37 to its rev limit regularly, a built-in shift light keeps your eyes where they belong — on the road.
- Stitching and build quality — Double-stitched edges and consistent weave patterns on carbon fiber face panels are the details that separate a quality build from a cheap replica.
Carbon Fiber vs. Alcantara — Which Is Right for Your Build?
Carbon Fiber Face & Grip
Carbon fiber construction is the most popular choice for 370Z and G37 builds. The face panels are lightweight, visually sharp, and complement the angular design language of both cars. Real carbon fiber — not a hydro-dip wrap — holds its look long-term and doesn't yellow or peel under UV exposure.
- Lightweight construction reduces rotational mass
- Durable, UV-stable real carbon weave (on quality builds)
- Clean, purposeful motorsport aesthetic
- Works with leather or perforated leather grips for all-day comfort
Alcantara Grip
Alcantara is a premium suede-like synthetic textile used in factory OEM interiors across Ferrari, Lamborghini, and McLaren. On a 370Z or G37 steering wheel, it provides maximum grip bite — especially when your hands are warm. It's the material of choice for track days and spirited street driving where control matters most.
- Superior grip in all conditions — especially under performance driving
- Soft, premium hand-feel used in high-end OEM interiors
- Pairs exceptionally with carbon fiber trim for a race-spec look
- Available on Chaser's G37 Alcantara wheel with carbon fiber accent trim

Fitment, Airbags, and What to Know Before You Install
Swapping an aftermarket steering wheel on a 370Z or G37 is a straightforward job, but there are a couple of things worth knowing before you start. The stock wheel on both cars connects to the column with a splined hub — any properly spec'd aftermarket wheel for this platform will use the same connection point.
The airbag question comes up every time in forums, and the answer is nuanced. The wheels in this guide are built for OEM fitment and are designed to retain airbag compatibility where applicable. That said, airbag retention depends on the specific wheel configuration and how the installation is done. If retaining full airbag function is a priority for your build, review the product spec sheet or contact Chaser Automotive directly before ordering.
Pro Tip: When removing the stock wheel on a 370Z or G37, always disconnect the battery and let the system discharge for at least 10–15 minutes before touching any SRS-related components. This prevents accidental airbag deployment during the swap. The splined hub nut torque spec is approximately 25 ft-lbs — do not overtighten.
The 370Z Carbon Fiber Steering Wheel with LED Screen additionally requires connecting the included OBD2 module and wiring harness for the shift light function. The process is plug-and-play — no ECU tuning or additional modules required beyond what's included in the kit.
Frequently Asked Questions
The steering wheels in this guide are designed for direct OEM fitment on the Nissan 370Z and Infiniti G37 — no hub adapter required. They connect to the factory splined column hub using the stock mounting interface. Always verify compatibility with the specific product listing before ordering, as fitment can vary depending on model year and trim level.
The Nissan 370Z and Infiniti G37 share the VQ37VHR platform and have compatible steering column interfaces. However, the specific wheel and airbag configuration can differ between trims and model years. Chaser Automotive offers platform-specific wheels for both vehicles — the 370Z wheels are listed under the 370Z category, and the G37-specific units (like the G37 Alcantara Steering Wheel) are designed for G37 fitment specifically.
The 370Z Carbon Fiber Steering Wheel with LED Screen includes an OBD2 module and wiring harness that plug into the car's OBDII port to pull real-time RPM data. No ECU tune, data logger, or additional hardware is required — the kit is self-contained. The LED display in the wheel rim illuminates at configurable RPM thresholds, giving you a shift point reference without taking your eyes off the road.
For grip during spirited driving — especially at track speeds or during canyon runs — alcantara outperforms leather. It has a naturally tacky, high-friction surface that keeps your hands planted even when driving hard. Perforated leather is easier to maintain long-term and performs well for daily driving. If you push the G37 hard, the G37 Alcantara Steering Wheel is the better tool. If you're primarily daily driving, perforated leather is a perfectly solid choice.
Yes — and most enthusiasts prefer the feel of a slightly smaller diameter wheel on the 370Z. The VQ37VHR platform has a responsive rack, and reducing wheel diameter (to roughly 350–360mm from the OEM ~370mm) translates to quicker steering input with less arm movement per direction change. The result is a more connected, direct feel that suits the car's character well. The Chaser Automotive steering wheels are sized to complement the 370Z's steering geometry and driving dynamics.
These wheels are made to order. Most units carry a 10–25 day production time before shipping. Plan accordingly — if you're building toward an event or track day, order well in advance of your target date. Chaser Automotive ships worldwide from South Florida.
Final Thoughts — The Right Wheel for the VQ37
The 370Z and G37 are driver's cars from the factory. A well-chosen aftermarket steering wheel doesn't just dress up the cabin — it gives you a cleaner, more direct read on what the front end is doing every time you push the car. The VQ37VHR rewards it.
If you're running the 370Z hard and want functional performance on top of the aesthetic, the 370Z Carbon Fiber Steering Wheel with LED Screen is the most practical pick — the integrated shift indicator is genuinely useful and keeps your eyes forward. For G37 drivers who want the best possible grip material for spirited driving, the G37 Alcantara Steering Wheel is the move. And if budget matters more than extras, the base 370Z Carbon Fiber Steering Wheel at $424.99 gets you real carbon fiber and perforated leather without overspending.
All of the wheels above are available directly from Chaser Automotive with OEM-compatible fitment and no sourcing risk. Made to order, ships worldwide from South Florida.
