Looking for a new steering wheel.. options, opinions?
My steering wheel is pretty worn down and I think I have decided that instead of replacing it with another 4 spoke wheel I am going to update it with the new 3 spoke design and fit my paddles into the new wheel.
Only problem is that I cannot seem to find the wheel in the color I need. My interior is Cashmere beige and every wheel I come across is black. I have reached out to AgeStyling and they have been looking for me but to no success. Anywhere else I should try?
My other option would just be to use a black wheel. My only concern is that it may look off. Do you guys think putting a black wheel into the car and changing the immediate tan colored cowling behind the wheel would look silly?
Here's an image of the exact wheel I am looking for.
Here's a picture where you can see the tan paneling/cowling behind the wheel.. I would change that as well so it would all be black until it actually went into the dash.

Check with dct about a new wheel and either eBay or just go to a body shop to paint your reflectors

Thanks for both of your posts. Does anyone know exactly which wheels can be swapped on w/o complications. I know the paddle shifters will need to be retrofitted but is there anything else I need to be aware of. I have been looking for an 09/10 production date wheel.

Just ended up buying a new wheel and some '07 paddles to fit onto it.
