| Item: OEM Toyota steering wheel Usual price: $385+ I found this for $260 with some ugly scuffs on it (2nd pic). Doesn't look like it's repairable. What are your guy's thoughts on it? Worth the price? Or better to save up for something in better condition. lol and yes, I do realize that by posting this, I raised the chance of someone else buying it before me. But that's okay! By doing so, you'd be helping me save my money. I might be giving this car to my little brother soon so I want it to be safe... and good looking (car does not currently have an airbag). http://www.ebay.com/itm/140819043261?item=140819043261&viewitem=&sspagename=ADME:X:RTQ:MOTORS:1123&vxp=mtr#ht_1074wt_1037 | |

| You gotta save up for that IS300!!
But that's not worth it to me, you can get a USA wheel for cheaper... mine was under $200 shipped.

| Ishaq if you could do that for me, I WOULD LOVE YOU FOREVERRRR!!!! lol... no seriously, I would love you forever. If you could get one for me, I'd be really really really really really really grateful. and Chris, lol I really am trying to save up for the IS300 but this is kinda important and it'd be the last thing I buy for my car. And I saw that wheel you posted! When I saw the current price I was like O.o But it honestly looks a bit too modern to me. And it has that cruise control there which would be of no use to me. I love the one I posted because it has that 90's feel to it. | |

| That wheel does look nice! It has the same grip, but not the modern look. | |

| Hey you're right! O.o I did not realize that.
lol but I really dislike that chrome sticker. And this one doesn't have the cruise control lever that I don't need. And it looks a bit more comfortable than the first pic Ishaq posted.
Hey Ishaq, do you think you could get me the Beams wheel but in complete black? Maybe it's the lighting but the one in the pic looks greyish. I'm hoping for one like this: http://www.gorillaindustries.com.au/2011/10/oem-toyota-steering-wheel-3/
But if its too much trouble, I'll settle for the first one you posted. Thanks again man

| Your interior isn't black is it? And you can always take off the cruise control and paint the emblem | |

| I can see the red stitching how... that price really is a steal for a black/red wheel!
Kenny, you paint the interior or something? I never saw our car with an OEM black interior.... all grays and browns lol. | |

| I'd rather buy it from you. Some of my trim pieces are black (like the center console and gauge bezel) and and other parts are really dark grey (like the airbag area).. Only thing I painted was the door panels. | |

| Yeah mine had the same black panels, and the rest was poop brown lol. I'm juts saying that either way... black or dark gray... the steering wheel should look very nice I never liked those airbagless aftermarket ones anyway. | |
