Default Opinions needed: Steering Wheel

Hey guys, so the leather on my steering wheel has been peeling, I was wondering what you guys think:

1. Should I buy a replacement OEM 350z steering wheel?

2. Should I buy an aftermarket steering wheel with a quick-release? (I worry about my stock airbag, like is it worth the risk to not have an airbag? Are there nice steering wheels with airbags?)

Please answer my poll and if you have any advice or more comments feel free to comment below!

Thanks guys

Why not #3? Just customize your worn out OEM one?

That's what I did to my beat up steering wheel that I picked up for $50 for my G sedan.

I have a nardi personal w/ works bell hub and I love it. Looks good and my car turns. As long as you don't mind spending the money...not sure how much a stock wheel is. I do recommend keeping the stock in the event you require it for safety inspections. Would have saved me a lot of trouble.
