There are hundreds of cheap car steering wheels sold by car breakers because they are the easist part to remove and look good to sell in photos.
90% of the work doing a steering wheel mod. is getting a wheel, airbag, and buttons to interface and work with existing EOS electronics. Might not have turn signal cancelling or be compatible with a V.W clock spring? Which is why 2phast suggests you look at V.W Golf wheels which he and others have posted info if you search here. If you have a no-button steering wheel there's a long way to go.
If you want to be first getting another wheel to work on an EOS with all the button and paddle functions, please contribute your work for others. The other option but still a lot of work, is to find an aftermarket Golf V/VI compatible steering wheel you like? But IMHO aftermarkets don't have the quality. V.W wheel design isn't as simple as you think. They are designed to be strong, but break safely on impact with the driver.

A lot of their wheels seems to be for USA origin Ford, not imports. I looked closely under the leather cover of a V.W wheel. Very strong ali with strategic cuts in their design intended to break in a collision.
An airbag won't stop the wheel and steering column hitting your chest. Are these aftermarket wheels tested by crash dummies, or is that left to people that buy them?

To 'Delete' an air bag you would have to deliberately disable the complete system or the steering wheel bag recognition. This involves hacks which no reputable shop would do. The OP should figure out what to do about the airbag on light before the wheel sales guy phones back with the crash dummy test data and supporting video.
