Default Can a hawk eye STI steering wheel fit to a blob eye?

Hi, having driven a 2006 STI, I noticed it had a smaller steering wheel than mine which was rather nice. If I ordered one of these newer steering wheels, would it fit to my 54 STI8?

Ideally I'd go a wee bit smaller even than that but I'd want to retain the airbag and not upset my DCCD (saw that mentioned in a another steering wheel post!). No idea what size my steering wheel is. I could always go into the garage with a tape measure but that would mean putting clothes on...

Excellent, thanks. Would you happen to know of any steering wheels which are smaller than that but still retain the airbag?

The only smaller wheel I've seen that keeps the airbag is by Zero/Sports, it's 350mm rather than 375 with a thicker rim. Very nice, but it would set you back £500 odd to import one from Japan or the US. I'm trying to convince myself 375 is fine

Just had a quote. The 2006 STI is £479 + fitting (Subaru). Can't believe it's not possible to find a cheaper and smaller steering wheel that keeps the airbag!
