Send me a spare steering wheel. I can make the smaller diameter circle and flat bottom. Then Knucklebus can wrap it up.
ClubLexus 4GS exclusive.....
And, I am adjusting my steering wheel up and down in discomfort after you brought this up.....
At the moment I just happen to be all out of 2013 GS steering wheels. I can't just bolt up one of those 60's to 70's Knuckebus spare wheels to temporarily drive while its sent to you. Plus I might not hear back from you for 3-4 months.
In the meantime enjoy the Grandpa status size steering wheel on your Sporty F Sport. It's like don't think about Pink Elephants. FYI: if you tilt it more to the more up position, spread your arms wider to hold on and while turning. I'm in the process of coughing up $$$ for a new wheel. A smaller one like the car should have. I still can't believe we cant use any other Lexus wheel of the same that's smaller. What Lexus Designer made this Big steering wheel decision?

Some people find issues with everything.
Steering wheel is fine as is…
Being a Hypocrite again? If I may, Quote you. Should we go further than the first 2 pages of some of your own post? You are quite funny with your above comments. lol!
You misspelled “Joke”.
Im amazed how anybody can make such a hideous creation.
There’s no need to beat around the bush.
That car is ****ing hideous.
I am young but my mind is sometimes like your grandpas.
I dislike any of these cosmetic enhancements as they serve zero purpose other than just for looks, and they almost always look horrible.
I’ll never understand the ricer culture
Always the same about oil.
Internet warriors always knows more than the manufacturer.
Just put in the damn oil it says and be done.
0w20 in Sweden here with cold winters. No issues of course.
I can just say that I have 0 confidence in Michelin
Its slow. It’s only a GS250 as we didn’t get GS350 in Sweden.
So it’s really slow.
2. No folding rear seat
3. No easy way to program TPMS. Seriously Lexus, this is a ****ing joke. For us...

Is it possible to retrofit a steering wheel from IS or RC?? AND with heating element?
The GS-F uses an IS/RC steering wheel. I don't know if it is plug and play. My car has a heated wheel, all speed dynamic cruise control, lane keep assist, and kouki digital cluster. I really want one, but I really can't afford for everything not to work. Honestly, the GS wheel is more attractive with its smaller airbag section and better defined spokes.

The GS-F uses an IS/RC steering wheel. A smaller diameter steering wheel is better for steering feel. A thinner rimmed steering wheel is also better for steering feel. A smaller diameter is also better for car control - proper performance driving grip is 9-3, crossing your arms in hairpins.
The 15" kouki GS 350 steering wheel is shared with the RX and the GX, where the seating position is more upright and a larger wheel is less unwieldy. In my GS, with the steering wheel adjusted to the correct height, my knuckles interfere with my thighs on tighter corners. I had no such issue with the GS-F at NJMP.

So no more... if I may quote you "issues" and Hypocrisy post from you? Don't know what in the world came over you?
Just some advise before you sling something else up. You know what they say about opinions are like, right?
Back on track. I have driven a variety of other cars in the GS class, BMW, MB, and many other. They all have a smaller wheel than the GS that does not interfere with ppl's legs steering. I smaller wheel give you more control, and better responsive steering inputs, like someone else said. That's my point. Go drive the new LS.

not as good as other smaller ones. Could be smaller. Even turning a corner, you start to feel its bigger than it needs to be IMO, anyway.
