Default classic steering wheels with airbags

Anyone know of any steering wheels with airbags that look vaguely historic/sporting?

I would ideally have skinny metal spokes and a wooden rim but given my name and history an airbag has a certain appeal.

Googling stuff so far hasn't turned up anything that looks nice yet

They are the two types I have found too.

I think they look a bit naff, as if someone has wood clad a normal modern wheel. Not sure that what I want actually exists.

I'd be really interested to find something similar to what you're after but possibly without the wood, I don't know. I've got a Mk1 though and from what I've found, they seem harder to get alternatives for.

Im sure with the right amount of trial and error you could fit an airbag module inside the boss of a mountney-esque wheel, but im not sure anything like it actually exists otherwise all us classic lot would be fitting them!

Hi
This is the best I could find.
It looks a little modern.
Maybee drilling some holes
in the spokes and put some
new leather around it and
get the look you want.

That evo wheel is not too bad. Doesn't need to be a wooden rim relly, just look older
