help looking for quick release steering wheels

Hi guys. I need some help finding a good quick release steering wheel that's no higher then a $400 price range, but i'd be willing to go as high as $450 AFTER tax/S&H are included.

I just got my first S14 Zenki this past weekend and after owning a somewhat fixed up Integra and getting jacked I'm a bit on the paranoid side. One of the things i want to do to the car to minimize any chances of someone driving away with it is adding a quick release steering wheel. However, I haven't a clue where to start or what questions i should ask myself when looking for the right steering wheel to buy. I've searched online and there are tons of steering wheels. It's like I dont know where to begin.

* Are all aftermarket race wheels compatible with quick release hub kits or is there a certain type of steering wheel i should look for?

* Speaking strictly about quick release steering wheels, are there only some steering wheels that allow for you to add the horn or do they all offer that feature, or is this a custom job we need to do on our own?

* Why do I need a hub lock? Is it really a worthwhile investment? Isn't the car safe enough leaving it without the steering wheel, or how greater do the chances of not having your car stolen become if a hub lock is on as opposed to leaving the hub exposed?

* I've noticed NRG quick release hubs seems to be pretty popular and inexpensive when compared to other quick release kits, but I havent a clue just how good NRG products are. Is it a very well made product? Is the low price a clue to the quality of the product? I certainly dont want the wheel to pop off while im driving.

* I'd like to be able to connect the horn back onto the aftermarket steering wheel. An all black or CF wheel would be nice, perhaps leather made since it lasts longer then swede. Something basic like this: http://www.weaksauceparts.com/store/...at=1929&page=1 Based on these specs and for my budget of $400 ($450 max. not a penny more) what's the best/safest quick release kit and wheel YOU guys can suggest/recommend?

* Are there any websites/shops that have reasonable prices and good service that you guys might like to suggest/recommend?

I'm not sure what other questions I should ask

Thanks for taking the time to read my thread and leaving your feed back.
