where can i buy steering wheel like yours..?...how much is it..?
Yeah i got one as well, Elvin supplied. Not a cheap mod espeically once converted to $AU where im based but its one of things that whilst i cant say its value for money, i dont care. Its awesome to drive with.
Looks and feels great and really makes the OEM wheel feel anorexic in comparison. Everyone likes different materials but Lexus should have atleast at some point made the IS wheels this thickness.
It was a hot day yesterday and i have to admit, the carbon was hot to touch but 95% my car is parked under cover so not a big deal for me.
Heres a few pics:

From memory my exact setup was $850 USD. Took about 1.5-2 weeks from ordering to me

I had one in my 2015 Optima and the only regret I had was that I couldn't remove it after some clown ran a light and totaled my car. You needed special tools to install for models after 2014. I would think twice about Alcantara. It does not wear as well as smooth leather.

The one thing that I think is because the steering wheel is so heavy (Elvins) over stock , I think its a tad slower in steering input or I might be imagine it. But I am going to remove the steering wheel damper weight and see if it does anything different, any thoughts on this cheers.

This wheel does show RPM with the lights. I sent a DM to the guy on Instagram who makes these wheels. His IG name is lexxusgsf. He can make them for just about any lexus it looks like.
