No idea, but I have seen them sell on ebay for approx £100 to £150 in the past, but they are fairly rare........... I saw a V70 wood one (similar but only part wood) sell for about £95 a few weeks back.


do you have one you want to sell?

No, none to sell sorry, but my 850 has the full woodrim wheel, which I believe was an option costing something ridiculous like £450. I was just curious as to what they brough in sales.

I will keep my eyes peeled, and if one turns up locally(not very likely, I know), I'll give you the nod.

Cheers,

Up to £100 already, wouldn't want one myself as I find my hands get sweaty and start slipping on steering wheels - prefer leather myself..I'd have to wear my driving gloves if I had a wood wheel (don't have pipe and slippers yet though lol)

Are they actually made from wood or is it wood 'effect' like that advert states?
