I agree with partrick73, that is a nice wheel, if you have a tan interior and looking for a wood steering wheel. That look also fits the C3 and does not look like "something off a different "era" car. The Lexus or Mercedes wheels, first of all, don't have metal spokes, they have air bags and most (if not all) have either leather or rubber mixed in with the wood design. Again, if you're happy then 
and show us pics when installed.

Looks pretty good to me......no one's going to see the "dash side" anyway....unless it's a Balinese monkey carver inspector... 
...Personally, I have my heart set on an original Motion steering wheel....your Grant wheel is pretty close.....but if I ever find one, I'm pretty sure it'll cost me more than $100......
