I saw a Grant Carbon Fiber one in a local truck shop on the shelf. Looked cheesy. Only covers the front portion. The back of the wheel is still exposed. Might even pinch your hand while driving or even worse, pop off in the middle of a turn or something. I like my leather wheel, even though I have to clean it every 2 weeks.

I got the rosewood one about a year and a half ago,and it hasn't pinched me yet
It has a rubber strip with adhesive on it that goes around the perimeter of the wheel. Mine didn't last in the hot weather though,it expanded and came loose in a couple of spots so I peeled it off. The wheel cover itself is pretty high quality,and I would recommend one,,,,,98

I had the carbon fiber cover from Grant and loved it.....until it broke. Which by the way was not long after I installed it. I have "installed" acces. on cars and trucks for a long time so I like to think it wasn't my fault. Besides, you don't need to be a rocket scientist to do it. I would avoid the Grant and wrap it in leather. Just my thought on the matter.
