Anyone know about a manufacturer producing red leather steering wheels? Air bag compatible of course.

We have one on our Tundra, and I know a guy that has one on his Mini. They are very nice.

 

I got a wheelskin for Christmas and haven't intalled it yet. I'm worried about how it will look across the wide spokes. How does it look on the one you've seen?

 

The guy that did it in the Mini had cut the holes out across the spokes folded the cover flat. It looked good, but adds some work to the install. I've always jsut threaded the string through the front holes across spokes, and that looks good as well.

If you have the wheel with the thumb lumps (I don't think 02s do), the cover will have a very small gap across the peak of the spokes. Still looks good and not a bog deal IMHO.

 

this was on there site:



it looks o.k. but i would have to see the rest of the car to make sure it matches. but i think personally i like the look of the stock cover better. but good luck if you would like to try it out. post some photo's when you do it.:smile:

 

I've got that red/black wheelskins cover in my car, and love it. Then I added some red/black shift boot and emergency brake leather from Redline goods. They look great together, now I'm looking to get some red/black Wet Okole seat covers and then I'll be happy (at least for a little while)

 

Can you post pics of the seat covers when you get them? I sent for color swatches and I'm really happy with how they look, but I haven't taken the plunge on ordering the seat covers yet. I really don't like my leatherette seats.. so I'm hoping to make a decision soon.

 

Mini Swag -- one of the NAM sponsors -- has them: http://www.miniswag.com/miac.html

 

Sure I can. They were on my Christmas list, but I didn't get them, so I should be ordering them soon. I got a duplicate present (one from each of my divorced parents), and once I return one I will use the money for the seat covers. I ordered the swatches too, and they are a pretty close match for the red leather in the steering wheel and shift boot, even though it is a different material.
Oh, and W3IWI, Miniswag is where I ordered the wheelskins cover, got it in a couple days.

 

I got a wheelskins cover for my clubman with rooster red interior and the red matches nearly perfectly. However, the cover didn't fit - too big and bunched up at the end. Also have to be careful installing or it will creep around as you lace it, making it out of kilter. Not happy with it for those reasons.
