    My bald steering wheel is slicker than monkey snot on a brass door knob!

    I see bunches on Amazon. Would anyone recommend a good one? Gonna be iffy holding the wheel with gloves on this winter. Of course, I could try the old tongue on a cold wheel trick.

    this is the best stuff

    http://wheelskins.com/

    they send you a cover and tough spool of thread and needle, and you sew it on yourself,
    if done carefully it looks better than anything else bar none, and it is wonderful stuff

    most people don't want to sew, otherwise get a cheapo from Wally.

    I second the wheelskins, on the condition that OP takes their time and does it right, lol. I've seen some that look like butt and I've seen others that look like this. Nice example of doing it right. Nice work Opteron

    +1! I bought my Wheelskins wrap a couple years ago at Gotelli's Speed Shop in South San Francisco for $59. Well worth the price. Beautiful finish black leather. They give you several color choices. Please, if you get this one, do plan a couple hours for it and do a good job following the simple instructions. The result is worth it.
    Mine looks exactly like opteron's above-even have the same interior and the black wrap offsets nicely.

    I will try Wheelskins. Maybe they offer one that has a textured grip.

    Thanks all! Merry Christmas!!

    Wrapping with paracord might also be a cheap fix for you. Just throwing that out there..
