Default Sooo tired of stock steering wheel

The OEM steering wheel on my 90 LS400 is starting to get on my nerves
Any suggestions on a more "modern" replacement that will install without too much grief?

Same thoughts here,mine has good leather still but looks dated,not sure if the later wood rim ones would fit due to the airbag components but anything but a furry cover lol

I'm currently search for the wheels mentioned above, but I have that blue interior in my ucf10 and havent been able to find something that matches it. Well locally anyways at the moment.

i had a 01 rx300 woodgrain wheel since that was a single stage plug, also paired with a GS300 airbag. it didnt fit as flush if i had gotten the Rx300 airbag but good enough.

The airbags for the rx300 and gs300 wheels are like 2x the price of the wheel itself!

Thats because you had the 98-00 GS airbag on a 01+ wheel.
