Default Need helping finding GOOD "wheel skins"

Im going to hopefully soon be converting my interior to black and tan 2 tone.


However, the most ugly part is my steering wheel. At the moment, I have no interest in getting a whole new steering wheel and air bag.

I want to paint the bag portion with SEMS satin black, but the actual part I touch everyday, I do not wish to use SEMS on.

Where can I get OEM look wheel cover. I dont want to make the steering wheel so much thicker either. Needs to be black leather and must be stitched around the seams.

Thanks
Matt

Might just be me, but those wheelskin covers just never look quite right on our wheels. Black might look a little better though, hard to mess up black with a black bag.

The problem with WheelSkins is that they look like wheel covers...which they are but they just look cheap. I don't care if they're made of leather, they just look cheap, IMO.

Here is a link to some pics of a black wheelskins cover I installed on my gray steering wheel. If you decide to do it, be very careful when threading the holes because if you miss one it will throw off the direction of the stitching.

Hm, they dont look that bad. Not like the walmart ones LOL


I think this would be the best way to do the wheel now. SEMS paint the entire thing and then put the wheel cover over it.

Thats until I find a 3 spoke one for cheap haha
