wood wheel- yes
gs430 airbag NO. its because Lexus changed to dual stage airbag. only rx300 airbag will work. good luck and do your research before buying.

^^ Incorrect.

Has nothing to do with dual stage, RX NOT the only bag. People have put a 98-00 bag on an 01+ wheel, just looks ugly as hell.

Yes it will, but you will need to get an alignment after to get the steering wheel straight.

99% of everything on here can be solved by searching which per your first post you didnt do,in the last year i have seen atleast 6 of these threads so yes i know 100% for sure this answer can be found if searched.

BTW the reason THIS thread showed up on google was cause this was the most recent hit on this subject so when it gets googled its a recent response
