djomlas,
It was VERY easy to switch the steering wheel. It took about 10 minutes, and I was going slowly because I hadn't done it before. You disconnect the battery; remove 2 screws behind the wheel to free the airbag (torx I believe); slowly pull the airbag forward; unplug the airbag wire and the horn wire; remove the nut and washer that secures the wheel; make some alignment marks to ensure the new wheel is placed on straight; remove the old wheel and install the new one; reverse the removal steps being sure to torque the wheel nut. At least this is very close to what I did for my 2000. There are probably more detailed instructions/pictures that can be found if you search around in the archives.
I thought about selling the old wheel and airbag. I don't think the demand is too great for the old 4-spoke wheels and airbags since most are switching to the 3-spoke set-up. I'm keeping the originals and may put them back on when I sell the car. I would then sell the 3-spoke wheel and bag.
What year is your car? What colors and options?
