Default Gen 1 Steering wheel swap

Hi, I'm not 100% sure where to put this, but I wanted to swap my oem steering wheel on my 1998 CR-V with this steering wheel I got from an old civic at a junkyard (pics included of that wheel as well as the back I took off). Im not too sure what generation civic this is off of but it came off with 1 19mm bolt. How easy would be to put this wheel onto my CR-V if its even possible? If I can't put it on I'll probably just clean this wheel up and sell it.

This steering wheel looks for me like from Honda Civic IV generation ED/EF (1987-1991).

This steering wheel don't fit plug & play for your Honda CR-V I generation RD (1997-2001).

If you want to change steering wheel plug & play, you must find it from:
Honda Civic VI generation EJ/EK (1996-2000) hatchback/coupe/sedan
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honda_...th_generation)
Honda Civic VII generation EU/EP (2001-2005) hatchback/coupe/sedan
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honda_...th_generation)
Honda Accord VI generation CG/CH (1997-2002) sedan
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honda_...th_generation)
Honda HR-V I generation GH (1999-2006)

Adding to that list of swappable wheels,

S2000 (any year)
RSX (any year)
Insight 00-06

Even if you could swap this old wheel on, it’s not recommendable since it has no airbag. Any particular reason you’re trying to delete the bag?

Was just curious if I could put it on, I like the way it feels to hold with the 2 spoke design and whatnot. Since it doesn't seem to fit that easy I'm probably just gonna do some touchups and sell it

I was thinking its off a 4th gen civic, was just having problems getting the wheel in particular to pull up on google unless I typed in "CRX HF wheel", I'll see if I like any of the other steering wheels you listed and see if I can't get one of those for my car.
