Default Ebay wood wheel?

Im thinking about pulling the trigger on one of those ebay wood wheels.. Im just concerned about it not matching my interior wood.. Does anyone have one in a 01 gs430? My interior wood seems like it has some red in it.. While the pictured wheel looks like it is just brown. I have read a couple threads that had said that the 01-05 gs's have more of a cherry wood. But the link below says 01-05... Black leather.. But i see grey in the picture.. And the wood seems like it has the same wood in the older gs's. The second link seems to be what i am looking for but without the sports grip.. And i really want the sports grip.

English burlwood is probably what you have.

Make sure you get the right color leather.

AFAIK, there are only 3 wood trims to the 2GS/Aristo line.
Blackwood, normal reddish, darker wood and the special edition wood, which is more like an Oak.

One of the problems is that cameras pick up the color in the normal wood different. Same with the tan vs oak interior. It can be hard to tell.
