Steering Wheel Upholstery - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Canehda · 04-03-2014, 12:55 AM

A couple weeks ago I was able to look and feel the steering wheels that cusco and tommykaira offer, they were quite nice and I now have a fetish for Alcantara… BUT my only problem with them is that there is no change in thickness of the steering wheel. I've been shopping around for a thicker steering wheel (I assure you there is no relation to my sexual orientation its just something I grew up driving with) and haven't found anything I liked so far… I haven't been able to find much info on reupholstering a stock steering wheel but the custom work I have scene looks mint and is exactly what I'm looking for.

So basically I would like to know if anyone here has a suggestion for a shop in Southern Ontario or Montreal area that can do this type of work to my steering wheel. Also If any of you know a company that makes steering wheels I should consider please share!

You might want to take a look at the Prova wheel, I think it's a little thicker. I'm pretty sure TRD makes a replacement steering wheel as well

I would buy the TRD wheel in a heartbeat if it didn't have the TRD logo on it.

We'll see… their prices are a lot better than i was expecting too

I just hope I don't catch the alcantara bug like other guys in the forum and start buying everything in alcantara… it will cut into my turbo kit fund

at least university student tax returns are on the way

Yes you can do the core exchange from Canada.
