And--does the black in the wheel match our interior black?
Any photos?

I don't know about the black in the tan interior, but the blacks are as close as you could ask for. I have not taken any pics of mine since I installed it. After I drove it for the first time with it installed I realized I should have done this along time ago. It makes it feel like a new car.

from what i've seen (and from what you can see in ^^^ that pic--99+ interior), the "black" on the fr500 wheel is actually the "dark charcoal", thus won't match our *black* completely.

it's a freakin sweet wheel, though--wish they made it in our black.

I'm still not real sure what the FR wheel is, but........ Before I received Tom's mint 5N95 Cobra wheel, I had a dark charcoal wheel. The color mismatch bothered me.

EDIT: Link loaded and I see it.

This is another, less expensive option for you. A guy posted this a while back, said that the fitment was superb and the color match was excellent, but he had the porno-red interior. You can get them in tan, but I'm ordering a black leather cover from these guys shortly, since I plan on swaping alot of my interior to black next year. I've seen a black steering wheel in a tan interior before and it looked fine. Worst case is I'd paint the air bag and column covers in black to match with vinyl paint from 50resto.

I had an upholstery shop repaint my fr500 steering wheel to match the 94 Grey. Year later, it has been holding well. I do treat it with Lexol leather products regularly to keep it clean and conditioned.

Here's the FR500 for $160 - can anyone beat that price?

I'm just throwing this out there, but the black interiors seem to fade after 10+ years so you might get lucky and that dark charcoal will match fine. I was expecting my shiftboot to be pure black but it was that charcoal and it looks great (with the slight fade).

Some good info herein, but the black/charcoal match question is still open.
I'd like to see some good photos.
And I do find it hard to believe that a painted rim could hold up in daily driving.

I had to size them down to get them here. Let me know how I can get them full size here and I will.

MMmmmm it looks so comfy.
You know for being the part on the car you interact the most with...it should probably be super comfy.
