Default Custom Steering Wheel: Wood/Leather
Looking forward to getting this on the car today. My wheel's leather was ripped pretty bad and I loved the idea of giving the car a more updated feel/look inside by adding some wood to it. Had the work done at CraftCustoms.com and I'm very happy with their work. They were also very easy to get a hold of and could provide me an update on the progress whenever I called. They also did a wonderful job matching the wood and leather.

Price was high. $520 with shipping. However the workmanship is excellent. This wheel should last a long time. I'll get some installed pics up soon.

That doesn't seem bad for everything new I'm looking around for alternatives but enjoy the OEM. Where in WA are you?

nice, not a bad alternative rather than paying 350 for an rx wheel

The craftsmanship looks nice, but I could have led you to a few sources for 3-spoke wheels @ $300 tops including an airbag with chrome L.

Ah I see you in WA as well. I'm in Newcastle. You?

I also had a 3 spoke wheel from an RX that I thought about installing at first but after having it for a while I decided I like the way the original wheel looked but wanted just to update it a little. I'll get the install pics up tonight. Looks and feels good!

I'm closer to Tacoma and Federal way, you plan on going to the toy run?
IMO the OEM steering wheel compliments the sc nicely, its simple and feels alright. Having everything matching is a big + and now you have some wood. Can't wait for the pics

Definitely a nice piece. Should look pretty comfortable in the SC.
