hey mate, all toyota boss kits fit the same steering shaft spline, buy yourself a boss kit off ebay and find a wheel you want.

according to NCOP;
Replacement steering wheels should not be less than 330mm in diameter. If the original
steering wheel was designed with a recessed or padded hub, the replacement wheel should be
of a similar design.

only other drama is getting the horn to touch when you replace it with a boss it.

Im in the same drama with my ln65, had to put original on for roadworthy because the one i had was timber, but the original is all busted so im looking for a padded one. hope it helps

I went in to Autobarn a while ago to order a boss kit for my LN65, and the guy there told me there is 2 different types for my Lux. I think he said the difference has something to do with the blinker stuff??

Go to the wreckers and find another toyota wheel you like. take it to car park and see if it fits 9 out of 10 will. if not take it back inside and look for something else off a toyota.

I got a leather bound genuine wheel off a surf from the wreckers. It looks great and it was perfect fit. I have since added power steering but i wanted the bigger size wheel to help with leverage.
