The wires you are looking at are coming off the clock spring. The tabs are all ground. It would appear the new wheel might have a different connection for ground than the old wheel as there is a similar black connector on the base tab. The base tab would be "chassis ground", the airbag carrier completes the ground loop when the horn is pressed.

The brown ones are just ground for the horn, short one goes to the base tab, long one goes to the airbag/horn plate tab. You'll have to look at the wiring in the new wheel, they may not be compatible? Or, you might need a newer clock spring? Mine isn't a Tip so I just had the horn grounds and airbag connections.
