Got my new wood/leather wheel
I decided I needed a nicer steering wheel for my 2005 Honda Odyssey so I went to the good people at www.american-stitches.com
The wheel they sent me back is as good as the wheel on my Lexus.

That looks great! but the wood looks out of place in the Odyssey's non wood interior.
Henry, the RX does come with wood trimmed steering wheel in the Premium Plus package.

That may be just a wood Acura steering wheel that the company sent you with the Honda logo on it....there are many similarities....... but I agree it looks good. You will enjoy it. 
Did you put it on yourself or have a technician do it? DIY steering-wheel changes can be very tricky with air-bag sensor de-activation and hookup.......it is an exact procedure that can...and does.....lead to inadvertant air-bag firing with careless technicians.
I wish Lexus had offered a wheel like that on the IS300, but they never have. And IMO it should be standard on the ES, not with a package option.

The FBO let me keep the wheel as a memory of the good times I had with the plane. Still have it in my living room.
