Default wood steering wheels

I came across this on Ebay. Has anyone done business with this company? Do you think this is a good deal?

Is it just the flash, or is the wood way lighter than the factory color? It's hard to tell, because the black leather looks gray in that photo, too. I would try to make sure that the wood was a good match to the factory wood, especially since I think the wood in the GS may have a redder stain than that used in the RX.

First off, I would never buy anything from ebay when the seller doesn't know his facts...

according to the seller, it fits a RS300...

I thought of that too, but the s and x are close enough on the keyboard for it to be careless typing and lack of a thorough proof read.

Not that you asked, but...
I love the look of my wood steering wheel. Very classy.

But in realality, they bite. Cold in winter and don't try to drive with your leg on the highway, the steering wheel is too slipery. I would much prefer a leather one - oh and my car is leased, so no, I can't trade.
