maybe wood wheels are not for sportster-driver types, but i usually don't race the car or go 75 into turns.

If some people have personal preference for the feel of leather more, that's fine, but I really think the grip is a non-issue for practical purpose.

hey doug, if your car wasn't leased would you have traded wheels with a leather 430 owner? I'll bet you could have easy and made a few bucks too.

For Gen 3, you have no choice however with the GS430.

I can see that, but it's worse up here with the options packaging & they're the same throughout Canada, since our luxury car market is so small. In the US with the 2GS, it's still possible to locate the option combination you want from another state correct ?
For 3GS, we can get either full leather or wood steering wheel, but if you want leather steering wheel, you can't have ML/NAV, & if you want wood steering wheel, you MUST have the top of the line package with ML/NAV & PCS packaged together.
