Recommendation for steering wheel cover

[paulri]

I'd like to get a cover for my steering wheel, in the $20-30 range if I can. The one I currently have started falling apart 3-6 months after I bought it. It was a $10 walmart special.

Learned my lesson. Is there a good brand that won't fall apart, in my range? I'm prepared to go higher if I have to.

The best cheap ones are the Sport Grip brand. They make them in different diameters so it can go all the way around your wheel. I don't care for the ones that just slip over the wheel, but that's just my opinion.

Sport Grip Lace-on

Here's the ones I'm talking about. You have to measure the circumference of the wheel, then choose A, B, etc. so it wraps the wheel completely.

I have a wheelskins brand on the Volvo XC and the 4 Runner.

Great feel, long-lasting, good fit, wide color selection. You get what you pay for...

I've purchased two of these on Ebay -and like the results.
Only drawback is you have to stitch them. Not too bad a job.
There are vids on youtube on how to do it.

The steering wheel in my Civic had a very tactile, almost sticky feel to it and the texture of the wheel was not as smooth as I wanted so I bought this one from Amazon:

It has a good smooth feel to it, is good quality and had absolutely no odor to it. Some of the slip-on covers you can buy have a bad chemical/vinyl/fake leather smell. This one fit my steering wheel perfectly. It is a good tight fit so it would not go on the wheel right out of the box. I put it on the rear deck in the sun for a few hours to make it easier to stretch on to the wheel.

I agree with the wheelskins,however I have had the color (red) change/stain/and wear off of mine.

What I liked about Wheelskins is that, if they did not already offer the exact fit for your steering wheel, you could send the dimensions (grip circumference and wheel diameter) and get a perfect fit. I bought a two-toned cover for my last car and it was beautiful and well worth the $35 I paid.

That doesn't mean there aren't other good covers available. It's just my anecdotal endorsement for Wheelskins.

I've used Wheelskins in several vehicles. The quality of the leather is very good, but you have to take your time and do a careful job of the stitching. Mine have lasted a long time too.

I used the Sport-Grip one on my '89 Olds Cutlass, and the Wheelskins on a couple of my Mercedes. Both held up fine.

I used one of these on my Fusion:

Stitch-on perforated wheel cover

I've had it on for over a year now, and it's held up well. It actually stitches on, but rather than use the thread supplied with the pack, I went to Wal-Mart and got a different bit of thread that matches the paint on my car (red). Looks great!

Black cover with red thread? Very nice touch!

 

[Yup]

I'd get one with Tweety Bird or that silly cat Sylvester.

I agree with that color combination. Wife's Equinox LT2 has black w/red stitching on the armrests and some of the trim and it looks really nice.
