Nope.

There is a BMW Individual steering wheel which has a wood inlay. I have seen it in person and didn't like it at all. Not the look of it, not the grip.

I'm with Andy545. Don't do it. It's fine in a Lexus/Toyota, Caddy, maybe even a M-B but I've always found it horrible to drive with and feels cheap. Not to mention, in Northern states like IL, you may enjoy a nice heated leather wheel more than a cheap wood (made to look plastic) wheel.
