I have found a brand new real wood steering wheel for the GS from a company who makes aftermarket wood and puts them on original factory wheels and shifters for Lexus, MB, and BMW. They look exactly like the ones found in the 2001 GS430s.

The guy sells them for $500 each but he said if we have atleast 3 people do a group buy it will be $450 each.

If more people are interested (at least 10) I may be able to get the price down to $400 per wheel.

A $100 core deposit will be added to each wheel until the original is returned to him.

The wheel is guaranteed to arrive in perfect condition. It is all real wood, no fake or synthetic wood. The steering wheels are all original factory Lexus wheels. And these guys even make some for local Lexus dealers themselves !

If you are interested, please post a reply.

I will also put a post in the group buy section in addition to this post so that it receives proper attention, you don't need to reply to both.

diselman , i don't think it has anything to do with the center core, basically it's just an outer steering wheel replacement, which requres we to send in our original one after replaced. so the center reamins the same.

I am also interested in the wheel, but need to know about the e-shift too. I am interested for my RX and cannot do with the buttons. If not that is okay b/c i have another guy with one i may buy from. Here is his site. He wants roughly the same price.

I Just checked out that site, thanks, it sounds like an option. Not too sure if I want the wheel anymore, ( I heard it was waay too slippery and uncomfortable.) This is true if you drive with one hand on top. Also because, of the GS's hard steering
It said, it is available for the 300, but not for the 400.
Why, in the photo, the wood does not interfere with the E-Shift
