I'm considering doing it simply because I have all the parts. Caddy wheel, extra stock wheel and the airbag. It's just a matter of the labor for me.

Here's an old pic of the stock wheel for comparison purposes. I could have the stock wheel shipped off and converted to a wood grain, but I kind of like the caddy wheel better.

wouldn't you negate the buttons if you did that? i don't see how you can make your stock airbag fit with the smaller caddy airbag without chopping up the airbag, which isnt' a good idea.

IMO, i wouldn't mess that much with an area containing an airbag and expect it to still function. if it were me, i'd just use the caddy wheel and have no airbag, if you want the wheel that badly.
