    Could you show a pic of your interior for color comparison?

    Looking at your pic it is not the color of the seats but appears closer to your dash and wheel. It may be the lighting.

    Was that a sandalwood wheel you sold and did you sell it to Ryan?

    The wheel I show in the pics is that same sandalwood wheel. I got it from Ryan and decided I did not have a use for it.

    Nope. I am just trying to get my money back out and send it to a new home where it is needed. I think I have $275 or so it it. The 16 " 69-70 sport wheels are chicken lips.

    The wheel you have is nice...again it could be the lighting but the one I am getting seems to be lighter yet and a better match. The sandlewood interior in general seems to be kind of a hit or miss w/ regards to color match. I know when I re-do the passenger seat, I might as well redo the whole interior upholstery for matching purposes. For sure, the sandlewood steering wheels are hard to find...they all seem to be around that $275-$300 range. mrpgmtoys has one in show condition that I am buying. Thanks everybody who replied

    well, I might be on the quest again. I need a wheel but sure don't need (4) 16" wheels also and looks like the seller is forcing the deal as a package. No steering wheel unless I buy his wheels :rant:

    KC that wheel that Jim has is the same one I had. It is the right color for your car . The wheel is closer to the color of your dash pad. The shot of the side is better than the front shot. This IS the one you want. It is almost perfect in very way. You will not be dissapointed.

    yeah, I wish I had not been misled by the first guy that "offered " up his perfect wheel only to pull it unless I bought his custon wheels along w/ the sport wheel.

    I'm really bummed out about this...hopefully one turns up

    I don't know if this guy sold his wheel already but contact the guy on this link:

    He sent me some pics of the wheel and it did look like it could be sandalwood - I would have bought it as an extra but he wanted more than I was willing to pay for it.

    Maybe you could post a link to the wheels or a pic and see if someone wants them. If so you might be able to get the wheel you want.
