Steering wheel options
I'm not the biggest fan of the c5 steering wheel and I cant find any replacements for it. I want a 3 prong wheel that will still have the airbag. Does anyone know if a c6 wheel will fit and if the airbag is compatible with a c5.

Nobody is going to make an air bag equipped wheel for aftermarket purposes. The cost of testing and liability risk is too high. Each piece of safety equipment has to be tested as part of the structure to make sure it works as intended. The only way to do that is crash some vehicles. If you adapt the wheel from a C6 and then sell the car without re-installing the original you can become liable if a subsequent owner has an accident. This isn't the 1950s any more.

I want one when they get some carbon fiber links.
