For those looking for the wood wheel...

I found this site that takes OEM wheels, wraps them in new leather and adds wood to make it look like the oem option wood wheel. Price was $315 shipped with giving them your oem wheel.

I figured I'd put this out there for anyone looking. They can do anycolor wood also (burlwood, carbon fiber, blackwood, etc.) Advantageous for anyone who switches to the 09+black woodgrain or wraps their trim in carbon fiber.

It's $279 shipped if you get them to customize your original wheel

Cool idea, but I think it looks too cheap compared to the Aspec wheel. Consider the wood wheel isn't discontinued, and well, ...

Yea it does look cheap but for the people with little hands and who don't want to spend $400, $279 aint too shabby.
