Wheel's peeling... help!
 
My steering wheel on my 03 non-S is peeling. Whatever material they used to coat this wheel is crap and is bubbling and coming off. Anyway, I need something to replace it (the material, not the wheel). Does anyone know of some wrap or other material I could use on my wheel to have it look good and function well? Thanks in advance.

I used a Wheelskins leather wrap on my Mustang when the leather wore. It held up very well.

Just get one of them welded chrome chain steering wheels instead then!:lol:

Just kidding!
Good luck...

Another big fan of wheelskins here. I order them direct from wheelskins.com.
It adds a dimension of "fatness" to the OEM wheel - makes it feel a lot like the JCW "fatty" steering wheel for a fraction of the cost.

Minspeed.net also offers very nice leather wrapped wheels - more money but super nice.

Can't order from them...WTF?!?!
 
Bluemeanie, thanks for the link. However, I had tried to order the wheelskin I wanted from their site but I do not see anywhere where you can do so. Here's the link:

WTF is up with that? I don't wanna call them to place an order!
