A steering wheel assembly including a detachable rim part and a central hub which are connected through linking mechanisms. Both the rim part and the hub are hollow and have integral spokes which have respective oblique ends and elongate slots thereon. The elongate slots on the spokes of the rim part further extend to form a receiving hole. The linking mechanism includes a sliding block, a fixing plate and a spring. The spring is interconnected between the central hub and one end of the sliding block. The fixing plate is hinged to another end of the sliding block and has a protuberance on it. The sliding block is slidable within hollow portions of the spokes with the protuberance of the fixing plate engageable to the receiving hole on the spokes of the rim part so that the rim part is releasably securable to the central hub which forms part of a steering shaft or is fixedly engaged thereto.
