Steering wheel add on

Notice I didn't say upgrade because I don't want to change my steering wheel. Has anyone tried this place ? For $100 or so bones looks like a decent product in the pictures.

I have used WheelSkins on ALL my cars to protect the OEM steering wheels.

Tons of options but if I was you I’d take it to get reupholstered. The covers are a good cheap option but I am yet to see one done right

The Wheelskins are high quality leather that you must stitch on. I have heard many positive comments and have never heard any negative comments. I tend to keep my cars a long time and drive them.
They keep the OEM wheel minty fresh.

After handling a modern MB or BMW steering wheel it feels like a trip to the ancient past with a 2004 wheel. Whining, I know.
