steering wheel

[dutchysute]

just curious, has anyone had there steering wheel leather re-wrapped? is it even possible?

I have never done it.
But, I'd think any decent auto upholstery place would be able to help you out.

It's not an overly hard task.

Good Luck

Not hard - but time consuming - expect to pay $250 plus any auto/marine trimmer will do it. I can strongly recommend a guy Brisbane sside.

You can get custom made leather steering wheel wraps from www.redlinegoods.com in the US. Made to fit your wheel - they have a huge range of models including HSV. Can order in a range of colours and matching or contrast stitching. Have redone my HSV VY Clubsport - very easy to fit and look just like new when finished. l am rapt with the result. A few pics attached... showing the finished product and some steps along the way

Redlinegoods did a terrible job with my wheel.. not even close.

Thin stitching, thin craft leather Gaps too wide to close, spokes unaligned.

In regard the their 'customer first' policy, They accused me of fitting it incorrectly, I pulled it apart just to prove to them how far off the symmetry it lacked from left to right. Promised me a replacement, ignored me for a month so I claimed back through paypal

Nobody can send a mail order trim, needs to be replicated from your old pattern and wrapped by a trimmer.

I've seen more pics of your wheel online looks good from the front but the stitching on the grip panels is rediculously wide.

Also wanted to add that after reading my reviews, redlinegoods has published my personal information online, including delivery address and phone number and labelling me as a 'scammer' because I won my paypal dispute. I know it was them because I normally use a PO BOX so rarely use my full name or address except this one time. Nice breach of their own companies privacy policy

.. just about to try these guys

seen a few (not the one mentioned above) and thought they seemed interested in doing a good effort to cover your wheel

and they give you options as to what you have with the order after providing sizes, details, model etc

Looks like a much safer option, also an Australian company so can't go wrong using paypal. I think the issue with RLG is that they don't have access to the actual steering wheels they're selling trims for or have done a 1 off that they haven't correctly copied the patterns for. People make mistakes sure, but it's how they solve the issue that counts.
