I don't know why there is no hub with the wheel. Since it needs the hub to attach to the column with or with out a quick release you would think he would have had it, i would have paid him more for the complete unit, for sure. But as is, the price was right and i dont mind that i have to look a little for it. I've heard Boulevard Customs in St Pete might have them. We'll see. I've seen the hubs on eBay and they range from 20-70 bucks.
The quick release is a nice theft deterrent also it makes it a little easier to get in and out of the car if you have racing seats ( i would imagine even more so if they are "fixed position" seats )
