I have a question for you guys/girls. My steering wheel is pretty beet up from the sun and everyday abuse it gets and wanted a leather cover that will fit it. I tried useing leather conditioner on it and i got to say it helped out alot,got rid of some cracks in it and gave it some life back. I don't want something that will look half ass but something that fits it well. Anyone put a cover on there wheel before? __________________ 98 Avus Blue 318 ti Active clear outs all around,stealth turning signals,blue led interior lights, 35% tinted windows,K&N air filter, 12" Kenwood Sub, MTX Thunder Amp,Alpine cd changer, Leatherz Armrest,ACS Pedals/Handbrake/FloorMats & Vitesse Tuning Carbon Fiber B-Pillars/CF Spark Plug Cover, New 16" MSW Typer 14 Rims on Goodyear Triple Treds www.myspace.com/avusblueti | | | 09-14-2005, 08:10 PM | #2 | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Jacksonville, Florida Posts: 322 | This is the cover I have on mine: It's kind of ratty looking now. The sun has sort of messed it up. Anyway, it's a good way to avoid your wheel getting messed up by the sun. | | | 09-14-2005, 08:21 PM | #3 | Senior Member Join Date: Oct 2004 Location: North Saint Paul, MN Posts: 606 | Go to Bavauto.com and get Part number WS 102 00 AXX. I got it a month or so ago in plain black and it looks great and feels great too. About as close to oem as you can get without buying a new wheel. I can post pics of it later tonight or tomorrow if you would like.

Does it move around at all? That would be great if you post a pic.

The fit is awesome. No movement at all. I'll grab a pic when I get home tonight. __________________ '96 Alaska Blue ti w/ Supersprint cat-back exhaust...Dinan CAI & Chip...Eibach Pro-Kit Springs...Bilstein Sport shocks...BavAuto camber kit...Brembo d/s rotors...UUC SSK...Centerforce Dual Friction clutch...TMS 9lb flywheel...18 inch OZ Rims...Carbon-Fiber dash/gauge bezel...Momo Shift Knob...Indiglo gauges...Schroth Harness...ZKW's/ProLumen 6k HID...Predator Chromiums http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y15...urowerksig.jpg | | | 09-15-2005, 02:41 PM | #6 | Senior Member Join Date: Oct 2004 Location: North Saint Paul, MN Posts: 606 | __________________ '96 Alaska Blue ti w/ Supersprint cat-back exhaust...Dinan CAI & Chip...Eibach Pro-Kit Springs...Bilstein Sport shocks...BavAuto camber kit...Brembo d/s rotors...UUC SSK...Centerforce Dual Friction clutch...TMS 9lb flywheel...18 inch OZ Rims...Carbon-Fiber dash/gauge bezel...Momo Shift Knob...Indiglo gauges...Schroth Harness...ZKW's/ProLumen 6k HID...Predator Chromiums http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y15...urowerksig.jpg | | | 09-15-2005, 02:46 PM | #7 | TRETEN IRGENDEINES ESELS Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: Rhode Island Posts: 3,687 | Is this the normal leather one or the preforated top and bottom one? I saw a two tone color one on there website which i'm thinking about,possibly dark navy blue/black leather one. __________________ 98 Avus Blue 318 ti Active clear outs all around,stealth turning signals,blue led interior lights, 35% tinted windows,K&N air filter, 12" Kenwood Sub, MTX Thunder Amp,Alpine cd changer, Leatherz Armrest,ACS Pedals/Handbrake/FloorMats & Vitesse Tuning Carbon Fiber B-Pillars/CF Spark Plug Cover, New 16" MSW Typer 14 Rims on Goodyear Triple Treds www.myspace.com/avusblueti | | | 09-15-2005, 03:10 PM | #8 | Senior Member Join Date: Oct 2004 Location: North Saint Paul, MN Posts: 606 | Quote: Originally Posted by Tyler Is this the normal leather one or the preforated top and bottom one?

I thought about doing the two-tone one, but then it wouldn't match anything on the interior. So I went with just plain black. If you buy this wear a pair of batting gloves or something to protect your hands. The stitching that they give will tear your fingers up. For like a week after I still had open wounds on my finger. The install is really easy though! __________________ '96 Alaska Blue ti w/ Supersprint cat-back exhaust...Dinan CAI & Chip...Eibach Pro-Kit Springs...Bilstein Sport shocks...BavAuto camber kit...Brembo d/s rotors...UUC SSK...Centerforce Dual Friction clutch...TMS 9lb flywheel...18 inch OZ Rims...Carbon-Fiber dash/gauge bezel...Momo Shift Knob...Indiglo gauges...Schroth Harness...ZKW's/ProLumen 6k HID...Predator Chromiums http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y15...urowerksig.jpg | | | 09-15-2005, 06:53 PM | #9 | aka Stabby Join Date: Nov 2004 Location: Mead, CO Posts: 5,336 | i wish they made the perforated leather in monochrome ... what's the deal with that? i just got a new shift knob and now would like to cover the poor looking leather on my wheel too. thanks for posting pics nick!

Oh, and also.. since my car is Avus Blue Metallic, would the Cobalt one look retarded? I can't tell whether Cobalt or Blue would match the car better... And if both of those would look retarded, I'd probably get the charcoal instead of the black, since the airbag thing is pretty faded. | | | 02-24-2008, 04:41 PM | #12 | Senior Member Join Date: Jan 2007 Location: North Carolina Posts: 157 | Well, I went ahead and ordered a Wheelskins EuroTone 2 color.. I went with Blue for top / bottom, and charcoal for the sides. I was going to go with the Cobalt since my car is Avus Blue Metallic, but the pictures I've seen of it look so much more like sky blue than something that'd match my car | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
