It's just that you can get them from Ebay for a lot less. The black one with dark pear is slightly more expensive. Grey ones, which don't suit XR's can be had for $150 easy, and would be a great upgrade to a BA with a grey interior. As they are brand new and haven't been handled too much, you can get them recoloured successfully.I just got a black one with dark pearl, should be here next week. Same feel and shape as the Sports wheel, and I wouldn't pay $1200 for one of those either, but $250 delivered is a good price.

I tried to look at one at work but we have no Fairmont Ghias or Fairlanes in the yard at the moment and there are at least 5 different fake wood and leather steering wheels listed for BA and we only stock one sort. I can't get a good enough idea of what they are like by looking at a photo.

The grey ones are cheaper as they are less desirable. I have mine now, this one:WheelI'm very happy with it.
