Great question and one I've been hunting for ages like the holy grail! I want a wood wheel in my GS3 with the shifter buttons that matches my interior. Here's what I've found in my quest:
The wood steering wheel with shift buttons does exist (took me forever to find ONE OEM example in countless ads of GSs!) but it was only ever offered in the 02-03 Sportdesign models. The single one that I found was in a *black* interior and it had the actual wood color (not dark birds eye or whatever) that matches the normal black interior. My problem is, my interior is the nice gray color that already makes it hard to find anything to match it, be it OEM or aftermarket. So my quest is for a wood wheel in gray with shift buttons. I have yet to find one.
So if your interior is black you're in luck, I can tell you for sure your wood wheel does exist, I've seen it on a 100% stock GS for sale at a Toyota dealer. As for me, well my search continues for something I have yet to confirm exists.
Lastly, I found a golden seller on ebay who does legit genuine JDM Toyota parts shipped directly from Japan. I've seen the black/gray/tan wood wheels with shifters but... they are aftermarket. He guarantees them to be 99.9% like the OEM made by a reputable company in JP. Check him out, his ebay name is zeroism702 and his site is jzsinternational.com.
Good luck!!
