So my steering wheel is crusty & weathered. I'd like to find a genuine leather wrap that comes with thread and needle but it was to be stitched on the inside, I don't want the kind that wraps around in a spiral fashion. I tried amazon they all seem to have bad reviews. I prefer it in Black. If anyone uses these could you help me find a good product ? Thanks:thumbup:

This is what I just put on my Taurus, and I love it. Great quality leather, but the needle sucked, but I got a nicer needle at Walmart for like a buck. Mine was perforated gray. Just make sure you measure as shown in the auction to figure out exactly what size you need

I'm a little skeptical about it from HK but if you recommend it I'm ordering mine. Thanks bro.
Not sure what this means: Original external design conforms to the function of human body.

It's chinglish. :biggrin::rotfl:
 
I got a Superskins leather wrap in black from Pep boys. It was $15.99 and came out Ok, I think. You'll have to spend some time stitching it on to make it look good.

I went to meijers and bought one of there $10 and I love it, matches my interior trims and has a nice feel to it.

Just make sure you followed the measuring instructions before ordering, they have several different sizes. I ordered mine for a Taurus, so I'm not sure what size you need.

The stitching is definitely time consuming, but it came out looking nice, and I love that it makes the wheel a larger grip size, so its more comfortable. I put one on my older car that i bought locally and it worked great too, but this time i couldn't find them locally.

Possibly. I didn't have any issues with the thread breaking or anything, just need to be careful and work each stitch rather than reefing on it. I did snap the needle twice before I said the hell with it and went to walmart and got my own. For like a buck I got a set of 5 needles. The biggest one you can realistically get through the stitch the easier. That one never broke

Totally agree on being careful and working each stitch. I lucked out and didn't break the needle that came with mine. When I was researching wheel covers, seemed like a lot of people break the needle when stitching.

I purchased the one off eBay I also bought the other kind off amazon that uses outer wrapping instead of stitching
