Any really good steering wheel covers out there?

My wheel is looking a bit worn, anything stylish that won't slide all over the place that you guys can recommend?

You can find replacement wheels on ebay every now and again for sub $200. I'm planning on going that route if my tranny doesn't grenade on me.

That's kinda why I'm so hesitant too I'm just waiting for the next big thing to go wrong with the car...

I'm not TOO interested in making it cosmetically perfect because it's far from it, especially on the outside. My bumpers are misaligned, flared fenders from damage, lots of stuff that just makes me go nuts...

Yeah, my car is a bit rough too, droopy headliner, foggy headlight, , and torn up seats. Drives me nuts as well, but when you get an 85$K car for $14K, what do you expect lol.

If you don't mind losing the paddles, you can get a 'normal' like E320 wheel I think, they're way cheaper.

Wrapped my blemished grey steering wheel with a leather cover from AliExpress and swapped out the airbag to a black one purchased from the Bay to complete the look.

Naw I love those paddles. I have a friend in Macedonia that wraps steering wheels for people and he makes them look pretty new I just don't want to do the manual labor... I think it's one of those stitched wraps. I wanted to see if there's something available that's put on and play instead before I go that route.

My wheels also wont go all the way up, moves up and down but stops. Really weird. Looks like it's gonna be a $1000 repair if I take it somewhere.

Problem is, we have paddles, he doesn't. Otherwise, yeah that would work great.
