Not a tough job to switch the steering wheel to a 3 spoke.

My 99 has a 2/98 build date.

Get a thorough PPI before you buy. Where is the car located? Good luck.

A 3-spoke swap is easy and it might look quite good in a contrasting color like black. My car has a light grey interior with black mats and a black wheel and I like it quite a bit more than the sea of grey I usually see.

That would also be an easy color to re-finish your 3 spoke wheel in (because it's a fairly dark color, it'll cover well - probably 2 or 3 medium/light coats)...Really easy to do with sponge or airbrush/touch-up gun.

I think a black wheel would look pretty good with some other black highlights.

Here are the rest of the options:

are you suggesting buying a graphite gray steering wheel and dyeing it darker until it matches?

if this interior is 'space gray', you can see the similarity to rubicon gray. rubicon seems to have a bit more of a purple tone in it - assuming that both pics show an accurate color.

this interior is in a 964 Jubilee on BaT.

As soon as I saw this, I thought of Space Grey, which AFAIK, was only offered on the early cars. It'll be hard to find pieces for it, so just find black to contrast.

Good luck!
