I see a whole bunch of replies coming that will say....the logistics of the rx wheel even being able to be mounted to the gs column would really have a negative effect...you got the cruise control...the air bags gs steering wheel is 3 point...i think the rx is 4 point...etc etc... i think the answer will be unanimous for...even if it fits...dont do it.
alternative? PM rominl or Rmmgs4 to have your steering wheel modded to wood...

I read about the wood grain mod, but that's $500. I have seen the steering wheels go for about 200-250. Then I can go back and resell my original steering wheel.

if you can get a 2002 rx300 steering wheel (the one with the upgrade steering wheel style where there is a lexus emblem in the middle of the airbag), it might actally fit on the 01+ GS.
but um..... 01+ gs300, doesn't it come with e-shift? rx300 doesnt have e-shift buttons on the steering wheel

Well, the title of ebay auction is
"98-02 LEXUS RX300/GS300 E-shift BURL WOOD STEERING"
So, does that mean it support 01+ gs3 e-shift?
When will be the next group buy from wooden steering wheel???

No OEM Wood lexus Steering wheel will fit pre 2001 Gs's. They will bolt on yes but you run in to problems with the Airbags. Even if u buy the airbag and leave it unplugged you will get the SRS light. But as long as your car has the 2 stage airbag any new wood wheel will fit just make sure it has the same buttons i.e. cruise and e-shift. I been looking for the cheap way out but after researching it i just started saving for it

I finally just gave up and focused on other mods.

So for this price and your current steering wheel, I guess you can get a wood wheel that will fit your model year. Just don't mistake it for the newer OEM one that has the new airbag with the chrome L in the center.

The steering will fit the 2000 GS 300,but the air bag won't fit. I believe someone on CL said the air bag on the 2001 RX is single stage airbag. If it is true then you have to get the airbag from 2001 RX. and the wood wheel from teh 2001.
I took a look at the wiring diagram for the 2001 RX and 2000 GS300. The connector looks the same from the drawing and both of them have only 2 wires( single stage).
