If you can get your hands on the factory leather wheel, its a pretty easy swap. I did it, and the leather wheel is a huge improvement. Someone listed the part # on here somewhere. I think the xA wheel might have ben the same too, but not sure about that.

Good to know. If the steering wheel frame is the same, then you'll be able to use all of your oem airbag/clockspring/plastic trim on the new wheel.
I'm pretty sure my leather wheel came from an S package that someone put an aftermarket wheel onto. It is the exact same wheel underneath, but leather wrapped.
If someone is interested in getting a wheel professionally leather-wrapped, I'll sell you my oem wheel cheap and you won't have to go without your car in the meantime.

Apparently no Toyota/Scion is available in the charcoal grey to match my sedan's interior. A lighter grey and possibly black, but no charcoal.
