The cover on my OEM steering wheel was feeling a bit loose and squishy as a poster above described it. The Wheel Skins cover tightened it right up and has been very durable. It has a nice look and feel to it.
Yep! That's the way I was thinking of going.

I had one on my 87 Vette and it felt like a new custom wheel.

They feel great, fit well and really make a difference. Evenh make it feel a bit thicker since it's going over the stocker which really helps with vibration dampening and overall driving feel on the road.

If I go this way, I'll have the local auto upholstery guy do it.

Watched him do one on a vette recently. He actually sanded the wheel, smoothed it with some sort of filler and then installed it like a second skin.

Look and feel was outstanding!
