I am restoring a wheel for my Aston which is like the AH one.  It is 
costing a whacking $300 to have it chromed and then another $325 for 
fitting a wood (burled walnut) ring.  The latter being done by the 
chap on www.britcot.com - Suggest you take a look because he restores 
all sorts of steering wheels.
