Peeling Steering Wheel Vinyl - How to fix now that Minspeed is closed?

I've read several threads about the peeling steering wheel, and the recommendations for a nice steering wheel glove from mymini.com. I've also read the recommendations for a product made my Wheelskins. The preferred fix in all these older threads is the nice wheel glove from mymini.com, with the Wheelskins product seeming to be a distant second choice.

My problem is that I've just found out Minspeed (formerly mymini.com?) is closed. I had looked at their site as recently as a month ago and saw no indication they were about to close... wish I'd ordered their steering wheel cover then... too late now.

Does anyone have a good, current recommendation for a leather steering wheel cover? The Wheelskins product looked to me like a one-size-fits-all... I'd much rather have one made specifically for my 2-spoke stock steering wheel.

having the same problem with my 03 but its more like a nickle size wear hole at 12 oclock position. Instead of a wrap I might make a 1in band out of yellow leather to cover the hole,, it will look something like a race s-wheel. But I would much rather a nice cover
