Let's keep this within 30-40 years or so for the most part. All the old old classic ones were cool.

I would nominate mine on my MB, even if it wasn't 2 toned. Design is great.



Let's get goin, what else? 1998 LS400 wheel? It blew everyone away with how gorgeous it was with the wood.

 

Of all of the cars I’ve owned I still really liked my LS460/600 steering wheel with the nice wood. Easily one of my favorites. I also liked the 1998 Supra steering wheel as well, especially compared to the crappy looking steering wheel in my GTR. I also like the steering wheel in the newer Mercedes AMG models like the one I test drove in the GLE63.

 

the Nardi wheel in the Zonda F of course



could've came straight from an Azimut yacht, nothing with an airbag can come close to this!

the Spyker C8 has a super cool one too

 

GX460 has a great one.

 

The refreshed (2016+) 4th gen GS had a stitched cover on the luxury trim steering wheel that I really like. Only offered for 3 years.

 

I agree, stitched leather airbag cover one of many details I appreciate about the full leather on my M3:



Not my car, but the wheel is the same

 

Some of my all-time favorites were from back in the late 60s, long before air bags forced major changes in steering-wheel design. But, as for the last 30-40 years per OP request, I'd go with the all-new one in the upcoming 2025 Buick Enclave Avenir, with its blue leather-wrap, the new Buick emblem in the circle, chrome-trim pieces, and the Super-Cruise embedded light-strip on the top rim.



I also think the wood steering wheel from the 2Gen Lexus SC430 was beautifully done.

 

This looks like my RX330 steering wheel and probably one of my favorites.

Edit, I see we're talking newer cars so I'm hoping my car barely makes the cut. Haha

 

Im a little biased but I like how Audi did the wood to leather blend on my W12 wheel.

Many of the hyper cars have amazing wheels designs but that's almost to be expected of them. Older 70s era Mercedes wheels are another type I like a lot

 

i'm partial to the lc500 wheel.

 

I'm outside that timeframe but I just had to include this beauty. 1965 Mercury wrist twist steering wheel(s).

 

I've always been fond of the old 80's Ford steering wheels. When I was little, my dad had a couple of trucks that had these steering wheels. I get super nostalgic when I see them.

 

come on everyone (except for @LH1) where's the imaginations? this is about the best steering wheels not just your own steering wheel lol

@mmarshall i agree the SC 430 wheel is lovely and a great balance of classy/sporty

ok if we're talking about more recent steering wheels with airbags from "regular" cars i'm gonna put up the BMW Z8:

 

I'm trying but I don't like all the spokes, yet.
Waiting to see if it grows on me.

Some of the old Ford wheels (I don't remember exactly which years) had a rim-blow feature where you squeezed the rim harder to blow the horn.
