Default Wood Steering Wheel in 2004 C4S

As a noob to 996's, I'm curious about a wood steering wheel I saw on a 2004 C4S today. It also had a matching shifter. Was this a fairly common option? Is it easy to find a replacement wheel?

TIA for any thoughts.

not a fan of wood in a contemporary sports car....love it in the longhoods and contemporary sedans....so I guess completely is a matter of taste.

Thanks to all. Grey Poupon it is.

I'm not sure about this CRS. It will clock 100k on the way home and has had a lot o work done. Suspension, IMS,RMS, Clutch.

The steering wheel is full of cracks, but the finish is quite smooth. Still, it seems it would be difficult to find a replacement.

It should be a leather/wood combination, not fully wood, correct?
I think if you search you should be able to find one since it was original equipment.
But you'll probably pay a lot for it.

Yes, a leather wood combination is what it is and yes, its pretty speedy to replace.
