For quality, I think Wheelskins is the only option:

Howard check with Rudy and the guys at Speedriven. I saw a rebuilt wheel in a MB in their shop that was drop dead beautiful. This one had CF build up however the cost was $1000. They take your wheel and can reshape it and build it back with a varity of material choices. Don't really know the price range for other materials but you would think the cf would be one of the more expensive options.

Well, did you get yours?

I did. Charcoal top/bottom and black sides Europerf all. Very nice chunky feel to it and it took ~ 1.5 hours to install. I'll post pics soon.

Bought mine at http://www.wheelskinsoutlet.com/buy/...x/Default.aspx

$45 delivered. 3 days.

I had my steering refinished by a company called Trimstop. For $225.00 the installed wood and new leather. They didn't have the Vanilla color leather, so I went with Black. It looks pretty good.

I really like the look of your steering wheel.....where are they located and did you have to take the car in or how did they cover the wheel?

The main thing is steering wheel cover should dress up comfortably because it protects your hands from a hot or cold steering wheel

I took the steering wheel off and sent it to them. They're located in San Diego. Here's a link to their site TrimStop.com - Wood Dash Kits, Dash Trim Kits, Molded Dash Kits and more....
