yeah their def. nicer, the 95-96 ones are ugly, i guess it'll be trial and error for me if no one else has tryed swapping them before, from what i've been told its just a couple security torx and a center nut that holds it all together, maybe when i pull it off i'll find a 96 bag on the shelf to see if the conections are the same, maybe even match up the control modules to be on the safe side, i dont see why they would be that diferent other then styling

Please keep us up to date. My 96 leather wrap is a bit chewed up and would love to put a new wheel that's in better condition in there provided it isn't that involved. Someone told me on here that it isn't that hard, but I want you to do it first. Good luck!

Im sure the swap is possible as long as you have both the wheel and the airbag. On a side note...check out this swap (03 Altima wheel in a 4th gen):
