Default Has anyone gone for a smaller steering wheel??

In the last two cars I've owned, the first mod I made was replacing the steering wheel with a thicker, smaller diameter one. This actually makes a rather dramatic difference, resulting in heavier, more direct steering. I think TRD sells a wheel for $700 with an airbag; has anyone done anything different? Will the whole airbag system freak out if the steering wheel is replaced with a non-airbag one? Maybe a smaller wheel from a Toyota car like MRS or Scion Tc would fit?

The TRD steering wheel will fit the Aristo and GS as well.
