Default wood-trimmed steering wheel

hi all!

does anyone know if there is an aftermarket company that is selling wood-trimmed steering wheels for the 2014+ ISx50?

i have the luxury package with the linear dark brown wood trim and would love a wood-trimmed steering wheel to match.

i'd imagine there may be something already produced and i just haven't heard of it yet, or, contrarily, nothing is out there. as a side note, it doesn't appear the latest es/gs wood-trimmed steering wheels will fit properly.

thanks!

There are custom companies.

IMHO its totally out of character for that car though...

The carbon fiber wheel in that link is awesome though!

the carbon fibre wheel would look out of place in an 3IS with the luxury package and parchment or flaxen leather with dark brown wood trim, though.

i'm trying to accentuate the wood as i really like it and it's not nearly as prominent as it was in my 2IS.

Yeah the carbon fiber wouldn't work in a luxury, but I'd just stick to the all leather wheel though. It's not a "wood" sort of car. Much sportier personality than the 2IS

i love wood, though! i don't know, though, if it's worth it to spend the amount necessary to custom build some lovely wood-trimmed steering wheel.

They can do any kind of trim you want. The wood trim look is just some fake vinyl, not actually real wood.
