I was planning to buy one of the picture. Sad it won't cover the wheel all around. Don't like it the way it looks.
BTW your car interiors looks like new!
Also I didn't see the buttom in the S. wheel to change gears, Did it change from 2001 on?

From '01 and up there were no "steering wheel gear buttons". 2000 models had them...I should know I have a 2000 GS

Do all 2nd gen GS have the american rosewood interiors?

Luis can we get better shots of wheel number 2? That looks like the best match thusfar.

Its hard to tell if wheel number 5 is a match ... or not.

Sorry Rock, you are incorrect.

1998, 99, 2000 GS400's had them, GS300 did not
2001+ GS300 had them, GS430 did not

light colored wood


darker brown wood



Blackwood


this is a really dark picture, but its the brown wood

so do we have any pricng info or group buy on these yet?

whoever was seeling the ebay faux wood cover seems to have been put out of business by ebay itself.

Thanks for the clarification Dave...I didn't know about the other models; I only was referencing the V8 GS models. I just forgot to note that in my post...

Luis,

Please give us pricing on these wheels for 10 or more, I smell a GB. I am 100% in.

I have a grey, no wood wheel, interior and I WILL have blackwood!!
