Default Aftermarket Steering Wheel

So, is there a company that makes a hub for the 1st gen LS 400?

I have a spare woodgrain wheel laying around that I'm considering throwing in the Lexus if it would even work...matches the factory wood perfectly.

I've found "universal hubs" so would I be alright ordering one of those?

Just a thought, thanks for any input.

Hello,

what kind of wheel you got, OEM Lexus. In that case it bolts right on, only the airbag won't fit.
I have a SC430 wheel in the LS 1gen.

Hey man, thanks for your response, but I am going to go with a Nardi aftermarket wheel, so it won't bolt up at all. I'd have to use a hub.

The wheel I have looks almost identical to this one, and as you can see in the picture he is using a hub that I cannot seem to find...

if you're buying it for your supra it MIGHT work...
but if you're buying it it wouldn't hurt to try it on at least

If only people had this sort of concern for others even with their factory steering wheel.

The concern obviously extends to everyone. But the factory steering wheel has an airbag. Personally, I'd never remove that to pretty up a ride.

I hope you find what you are looking for.
