Base Steering Wheel Upgrades?

Are there any upgraded wheels at all that fit the base wheel airbag? The base bag is not a direct fit in the sport wheel. I found out the hard way. I'm just wondering as it seems the only upgraded wheels are for the sport and m sport airbags. I'd prefer to not have to source a wheel and a bag if possible.

From what I've researched, it seems the only place to get a wheel and a bag is eBay. A few sites sell the wheels but no bags, I'm guessing for legal reasons. so back to my original question, are there any upgrades for the base wheel outside of a sew on cover or will I just have to bite the bullet and get a new wheel and bag?

Yeah it's so stupid. The bag will fit in the sport wheel but it's too tight. You can't use your horn. I thought there were only 2 wheels also until I bought the sport wheel and tried myself. Learned the hard way.
