Default Switch to wood steering wheel?

Hi all

Interested in switching out the big black wheel in my car. Do the 1991 xjs classic collections have airbags or the dummy air bag that I sometimes read about?

Would either of these wheels potentially work? what do I need to look for in a compatible wheel for my car? I know the auto mechanism for the blinkers will be disabled, that is okay.

I put a Nardi wood steering wheel on my '90 Classic Collection. I didn't like having a driver side only airbag (who wants to survive an accident that kills a passenger?), and I didn't like the airbag wheel esthetically.

CAUTION -- It is a real airbag, so don't touch it unless you strictly follow all safety procedures on how to properly remove it.
