Dont know why all the colors... But either way, you need to match your dash. I've seen black wheel on tan dash in this forum and it looks horrible. As for the woodgrain, match what you already have. Not sure what the exact question is, but I believe that covers it all.

nonetheless, do what you want, not go on others opinions. even mine.

Default Thanks

The tan dash with wood and black wheel is what I wanted to get an input on ,
I wasn't sure if it looked horrible,I tried looking thru post/pics but couldn't get a picture!
I was also thinking of in the future converting to complete interior in black ,but that means more money and I do like the tan interior,Thanks again

My opinion, for what its worth, is to pick one color and stick with it. Seen them mixed before and always thought tan and black clash. Do what you like though.

Tan and black would look just fine as long as you got rid of all the brown. All brown to black.

Unless you made your dash black, don't get a black wheel man it's going to look like a scrapped car.... If its uniform, it will look good. Pillars beside the front seats swapped out black, clean black floor mats, dashboard, and yea I guess center console black as well could look real good. Then the leather on the doors should probsbly be black as well and the bottom area that's like carpet, Prob black as well.... I don't know if your going for that two tone look, that's what most do.... Take a look.

From a practical standpoint, I'd stick with all leather. My sister's ES has the wood steering wheel and it slips through my hand when I drive her car (I drive with just one hand since I'm used to a manual).
