Sports steering wheel? Have you modified the steering column or something. I have had a "sports steering wheel" for many years and have never been pinged on it.

Certifiers note down everything
As the car didn't have factory Airbags you don't NEED a cert for the steering wheel however the certifier will note it just to be safe rather than sorry.
