If you know someone who would be willing to spend hours modifying an aftermarket steering wheel to adapt the airbag then you'll be in luck.

I have yet to see an aftermarket wheel with the provision for an airbag, but that's not to say that it hasn't been done. Maybe you'll get lucky.

Other than that, eliminating the airbag is a both a safety and a defect issue and it's your call to go down that path if you wish, but in the unfortunate event that you may be involved in an accident, the airbag would be a handy thing to have on your side.

Good luck with it though, but if you know someone who is a competent fabricator, anything can be accomplished.

Momo steering wheels vary in price, its like ice cream. There are heaps of models etc.

Unfortunately due to your car coming stock with an air bag the only way you replacement you can make is another wheel with an airbag.

You would be lucky to find one with an airbag on it.

So pretty much, only cars that come standard without airbag may change their wheels within the legal size (330mm).

Google MOMO. Look at their steering wheels..

Lol yeh, make sure you get a boss kit, its illegal for your indicators not to self cancel... Wouldn't want your illegal steering wheel to be twice as illegal

Not having the airbag is illegal but you could still be safety minded by wearing a full face helmet all the time whilst driving.

....your choice....

I'd take the airbag over looking like a douche constantly.
