Default 99 steering wheel is worn - what to replace with?

Guys,

My tan 99 steering wheel (3-spoke) is pretty worn and I was wanting to replace it with a stock Lexus steering wheel, or else if too expensive, a quality looking cover.

From what I understand the RX300 steering wheel is a direct replacement? My airbag is fine, just need to replace the steering wheel but want it to match.

What are my options to keep my airbag?

I've seen a few on ebay.. Since you just need the wheel it will be easier to find..

Any year Lexus steering wheel will fit, but if you want to re-use your airbag/cover you need the same type of 3 spoke from pre-2001 RX, GS, etc. These 3 spokes never came in wood that I know of.

Since you have the single stage airbag you should be able to swap the module to any dual stage (post 2000) steering wheel and airbag if you want the woodgrain.
