I would pass. Save up some dough and get the actual wood wheel.
I think American Stiches does wood wheel conversions for like 475.00.

Man it comes to the point of how much money are you going to sink into your car, that your never going to get back. I have this steering wheel cover and Im a perfectionists. it looks good. Not a $500.00 real wood wheel but no body has ever comented on it looking cheesy and in fact everone assumes I have a real wood steering wheel.

Anyone know if there is a conversion wheel made yet, of a wheel like that, except with the paddle shift. I don't really want to buy a 2nd wheel, then send it away to get stitched, and then have 2 wheels (since I can't not drive while the wheel is getting stitched up).
