Default NEED HELP - Will this Steering Wheel fit my 1999 GS300

Hi,

Well just wondering if someone could tell me if this steering wheel will fit my 1999 gs300.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lexus-GS300-GS400-Steering-Wheel-97-00-w-o-E-shift-JZS160-JZS161-Toyota-Aristo-/171742154033?hash=item27fca14d31&vxp=mtr
Also what airbag will it need for that steering wheel?

Cheers

Pete

Well the question now would it have fit your 1999 gs300, was it from a Rx300 particularly between the years of 2001-2003? Well yes it would have.... Except I just bought it THANKS! OH, and it would have required a single stage air bag if you find another wheel, just find a matching air bag that's make sure you verify this,"single stage"

BTW I was just kidding and by the looks of it it's not advertised as a rx300's wheel at all either, but it does say it will fit a 1997-2000 gs300/400 but that's odd I don't see why it would be limited to the 2000 model.... Anyhow your best bet is to probably ask the guy selling it, it's a remanufactured wheel apparently from what he explains huh? Either way would look amazing if that's the interior you have. I scored crazy on a rx300's wheel and air bag fit perfect and wow I can't emphasize enough how big of a difference just a new looking woodgrain wheel compliments the cars...... Truly adds a huge amount of luxury to its look imo....just seeing the top wood portion of it gleam through the windshield is priceless to me

It stops at 2000 because in 01 they switched from a single stage to a dual stage air bag. I assume it was the same for the Aristo; although it would still work for 01+, the seller may not know about the compatibility. Funny thing is, that wheel looks more like a 01+ wheel.

This is 98-00 (note the air bag shape):



This is 01+, air bag is much sleeker and sexier:

It will work. I bought one from the same seller for my gs400. The only thing I had to do was wire the buttons for the E shift.
