Wanting to change steering wheel

[Metro201]

I have a 2009 3.8 Tech and my wife really wants a wood steering wheel. Would prefer the factory one on the 4.6 without paying the dealer retail $$$$.

Any suggestions/recommendations?

Those are tough to get - you could try an aftermarket solution like this one, but beware - they are expensive.



Hopefully you can find someone who has a spare after upgrading to one of those I just posted above. Couldn't tell you where, though. Sorry.

Good luck.

I would not call the above pic "after-market" since it is an official Hyundai part, albeit for the Korean version of the Hyundai. Here is one company that imports Hyundai parts from Korea and sells that particular item:

You should be able to order it with Hyundai logo (instead of wings) from a Hyundai dealer. These are not really wood, but "wood finish" since real wood is not durable enough for a steering wheel. I believe that the controls on the wheel are for the 4.6 Tech Model only, and not sure if the controls have changed over the years (you didn't say which model year you have).

Thanks everyone for the fast reply. I will let you know what we decide and post an update.

I bought this one from KAI - it's not cheap, and it doesn't come with controls or airbag:

You have to swap the controls/airbag from your OEM wheel to the new one. So if you want the airbag with wings instead of the lazy H you'll have to buy a new airbag as well. I have had this wheel for about a year and really like it - it was expensive but I'm not sorry I got it.

I have the original 4.6 tech wheel which has some wood grain because I replaced it with the unit above. If you're interested pm me and I will take some photos.

Hi Metro 201,
How much did you spend to install the steering wheel? Thanks

Hi Matt,

Has anyone seen a black wood grain wheel to match the black wood grain on the R Spec?

Do you still have the steering wheel and, if so, what are you asking for it?
