Steering Wheel Covers

Does anyone have any experience with steering wheel covers. I am thinking of getting one to protect the wheel on my 03 Screw. Lokking for info on fit (I would like a nice tight fit), style (something that looks good not cheap or gaudy) and durability (will it last for a long time without incident).

Thanks for any help.

I amo not sure if it was AJ that posted this one, but I got one and love it.

The name of it is wheelskins

It is a real leather cover, that you select off a size chart, so it is not a one size fits all type of thing.

They come in colors, and the grey is slightly lighter then the stock dark graphite wheel. You can also do the standard black as well.

I can't find the box with the size off hand, but it is worth a look.

Kind of nice getting one sized for the wheel you have, rather then the autoparts store one, that fits everything from a Geo Metro to a Kenworth.

Good luck, if you find something else post it.

i would definately reccomend the wheelskins cover.i just got one and installed it in about 1 hour.i got mine from stylin concepts(it cost $49.99 after shipping and all)but i think its well worth it.they have solid colors & two tone(i got 2 tone black & grey)its very good quality and fit perfectly.if you get it i would reccomend installing it slowly and as carefully as you can.once you start threading it it hard to go back
let us all know what you decide to do
