That wheel looks amazing, that's why I'm looking for a GS430 with a wood wheel.

It will be more than $100 from a junkyard for a wood wheel, they aren't stupid. If you really want one for a deal you can try a Rx300 wheel from ebay, should run around $400.

What years of the 430 have the shift buttons on the steering wheel or do they all? Does the RX have the shift buttons?

I'm interested in a 430 wheel as well. If anyone has a lead on one for the tan interior let me know.

The 430 and the rx does not have the shift buttons. the 300 has them from 2001-2005.

Default Wood wheel conversion

I got a quote this summer from american stitches, one of the vendors that has previously offered group buys on this site. They want $550 and you need to ship them your wheel. PM me if you want the details.
