Default Detachable Wheel VS. Airbag Wheel?

Well im thinking of getting a detachable wheel so that i have one extra feature against theft but what is stopping me is that i dont want to loose my airbag on my oem wheel. So which ever side you guys are on please state your reason on what you have on your car and convince me to go to your side.

Thanks

Spence

thas a hard choice i would go with the airbag though because u only got one life to live...... my coupe i kept the airbag it was tuff but i think i made the right choice, besides there are other ways to prevent theft.

whats more important? having an airbag without a wheel, or living, or walking, or not having brain damage?

if you get a splash hub..or hkb, they give you a resistor of some sort, so at leastyou passenger wont die...*assuming that the resistor will trick the srs system into thinking it has both airbags that work...so when you get hit, the passenger side will still pop....*

i'd stick with oem airbag wheel.
detachable wheel requires cage, seat, 4 or 5 point seat harness to be safe.
Other then that, i'd stick to what EPA tested as safe on my car (oem belts, oem seats, oem airbag wheel)
