Default Steering wheel compatibility

Are 1990-1996 steering wheels Interchangeable? For some reason 1993 wheels are harder to find... looking at an earlier wheel or possibly later wheel + airbag.

OR...
Going to redlinegoods and getting the leather to redo the current one

'91 to '93 steering wheels are the same but only '92 & '93 use the same buttons, you could use a '91 and use your '93 buttons '94+ is different and a '90 if original is different and a single year.

I know that 94-96 is different but if I get the airbag will it be a plug and play swap? For some reason 94-96 are common as heck used. 91-93 are harder to find in good shape. I also seem to remember the airbags were upgraded in 1994 to be less aggressive and my 5'6" daughter sits pretty close to the wheel.

And I'd love opinions on redline leather instead. If I go that route I can get white/black leather to match the interior but it looks like a royal PITA. The price of a 2 tone wheel leather AND center console cover (padded) is the same as a nice used 1991-1993 wheel. Only issue with the current wheel is the leather is 30 years old and starting to Crack.
