I really want to reupholster my wheel in proper high quality leather, but It will take a while as a lot of it is hand sown and I can't be without a wheel as it's my DD. Been keeping my eye out for the skeleton of a stock wheel, but haven't seen one for a decent price yet.

I reupholstered the gear knob on my last car, it looked great, better than the stock "leather".
JPM usually does a core exchange program where they send you a wheel and you send your core back to them. That way you don't have to be without a steering wheel or buy a second one.

Still waiting for the steering wheel option to go back up on their site though.
