Default Steering Wheel

I have a question about Steering Wheel fitment on a 2006. I am thinking about replacing my steering wheel and I was wondering if the Air Bag and cover are all the same for later years 2006 and up. Will newer versions fit? Do the later years have a larger rim thickness?
Thanks in advance

I installed the 2012/13 steering wheel and kept the old airbag (2006,) the diameter is the same with the thumb notches being the only difference.

They’re all the same, but personally the airbag cover is the cheapest-looking part of the wheel. A nice custom leather or Alcantara airbag cover is only about $200-250. Makes a huge difference.
