Just got my wheel back from Dallas Custom Steering Wheel in Texas. They're not connected to Craft Customs (also in Texas) and don't know if either does better/same quality work than the other.
I went with full leather with a slight "grain" compared to the original leather (which is perfectly smooth). Looks like quality work, the leather is the same thickness, color, and same style baseball stitching as the original, which is perfect. If you have a crusty leather steering wheel this is definitely something you should consider IMHO.
The Dallas Custom Steering Wheel price for the 80 series leather wheel starts at $299, add $50 to reglue the rubber to the metal frame (they all need it), add $50 to add 1/16" padding under the leather, then add $18 for shipping back. With the padding the wheel looks and feels a bit fatter but only adds about 4mm increased diameter front to back. Compared to a 2014 Ford F-150 I recently rented I would say the thickness of that steering wheel was close to the same as this newly recovered wheel with the padding.
