Slightly pricey - but same as the one I have on the 400 - if anyone was looking for a replacement to their leather one - should be a straight replacement fit (ignoring the boss) - and you can use the horn push centre from your existing wheel of course.

Thanks for the tip sean. Do you know if this wheel is a larger diameter than the standard leather job? It looks good but i think its quite a bit darker than the wood in my car.

They are the same diameter as for the leather wheel I believe, the picture does look slightly darker than mine, but I have to say mine is spot on against refurbished wood veneer, so if you were considering that as well...

Why the (apparent) preference for wood over leather? I like my leather wheel. A matter of taste ...

Think it is streaky - some owners prefer the wood to match the dash.. does look pretty good.. although I must admit, prefer the feel of leather

Ah! So now I REALLY don't understand. They want a steering wheel that is faded, crazed and cracked, has chips out of it and which isn't properly stuck down?
