Default Show your Steering Wheels please

Looking to change out my stock wheel for something nice.

I think the stock one looks so old and outdated.

I want to use one with an airbag though still

What lexus wheel have you used and are you happy with it?
How much did you find it for?

not being a jerk but I don't think anyone will give you much information. The info is out there and Im pretty sure everyone else searched through old threads. There's alot of info on details on what year, from what model work with each other, what airbags fit, and so on... Just try searching. You'll end up learning more.

Im gonna rock a is300 looking wheel. if thats only what your asking though.

Here you go.

The steering wheel is "01-"04 GS wheel made by Grazio & Co. in Japan, it has perforated leather w/sports grip, I have never seen a wheel with the leather shaped like this where the spokes attach. Thumbs set in those grooves so nice and comfortable. It also has the nubs on the back side for grip. It has a single stage "01 RX airbag.

I love it!
Cost? with the black woodgrain, ouch!

LOL - I see you didn't take his advice.

99+ SC, RX or GS are all 3-spoke wheels.

yeah its a discussion and message forum not a database. I can search too but why not have new people post their pictures that havent done so yet. There are always new discoveries and ideas.

The more fresh activity the better for the owner of the forum for advertising and sponsors and for the members also. There probably isnt a topic that hasnt been covered already on these cars being out for 18 years. Should the forum be locked down and only be for searching?

What can you expect to pay for one of these wheels above?
Can you sell the stock wheel/bag for any money?

Me too! I can't stand my 93's steering wheel. It's pretty ugly and looks like the one in my old Saturn.

all i can say is getting a nice oem 3 spoke lexus steering wheel is one of the single best interior upgrades you can do..

i've done it on two of my SC's and it really changes the feel of the interior..
