Default Flat Bottom Steering Wheel

I was looking into buying a flat bottom steering wheel for my IS250. Is it worth paying $500 on eBay or do they have a cheaper alternative?

I had no idea they were selling them on Ebay too. They are a vendor on here and sell them for a few dollars cheaper including shipping. I'm waiting on my invoice now.

Can you send me a link to your vendor where you got it from?

I had one of their wheels. They're the ONLY aftermarket option. Great quality.

Ivan at DCT Motor Sports has been working with me on getting the wheel. The wheel arrived but the wood was not a match. I wanted the grey bird's eye maple and the wheel I received looked like grey ash or some other kind of wood with horizontal graining. They offered to refund my money upon receipt but I would rather have the wheel. I'm waiting on their response.

If you're interested in the Carbon Fiber version it's an easy process. I want my interior to look a bit more luxurious than sporty, so I want a wood wheel with the perforated leather sides and flat bottom.

I paid $585 shipped for my wheel. They ended up refunding my money because the wood wheels they had all looked like the wheel they sent me. The grain of the wood all looked a bit too linear and lacked the birds eye details that are in our car. I'd still recommend them if you were after a carbon fiber wheel or the alcantara version.
