Anyone using one of these snap on wood steering wheel caps?

Spotted these things on Fleabay and I'm just curious since my original wheel is starting to fade and I don't really want to deal with the downtime (or cost) of having it redone

I really like these type of wheels. Gives you an option and keeps them from wearing. At least when it is original. What is the link?

I tried these, take about an hour to put on but are defiantly an upgrade for an old cracked steering wheel, and is not a snap on plastic item (unless that is what you are looking for)

I put a 'wheelskin' on my 80 4-5 years ago and it is holding up well. If you take the time and install it right, it looks very near OEM. Also makes the wheel rim a little thicker.

My wife's LX470 has the OEM wood wheel. I actually don't like it. Driving with a hand in the '12 o'clock' position means you're holding onto a thin piece of glossy wood.

I guess the good thing is it almost forces you to drive at 10 and 2.

It looks like that snap together piece would have a prominent gap or seam where they fit together.
