    Hey Man,
    I feel the same way to an extent. However my steering wheel has deteriorate so I was looking for inexpensive way to sort of restore it. Wheelskin covers are not your ordinary 15bucks cover you find at autozone.

    Just watched their video. Better than the cheap pull over type.

    Lol ..everyone is quick to judge ….assuming he’s getting one for looks.He knows what he needs.

    I know nothing about steering wheel covers. It’s not in my radar. May be some day it will be when I’m in your situation.

    When my steering wheel got all ratty and sticky, no shops wanted to fix/repair/respray it. I wasn’t crazy about those wraps that you lace up, so I found a used one in great shape on Ebay and just swapped it out.
    The wheel is sold without an airbag so you need to reuse your own.
    It was a simple job and well worth the $100 cost and 45 min of my time. After I was done someone even bought my junk steering wheel for $30 on Ebay.

    Nice thing about steering wheel covers…make the steering wheel feel thicker ..and a bigger grip…
    But a MOD I will likely pass…till I need one..
    Hope yours turn out to be a great MOD!

    Do these Wheel Skins go over the existing leather wrap to make the wheel thicker?
    There's no damage to my steering wheel but I would like it to be thicker.

    I used a small pair of bent nose pliers to pull the stitches tight.

    Ive had a few covers from Wheel Skins over the years on different vehicles but after watching there install video, those Loncky covers really are custom fit and close to factory after install imo.

    Reasons to get a steering wheel cover if anyone needs to know

    - Like op mentioned. Covering up one that's worn
    - protecting it from damage
    - change the look
    - more grip maybe

    I was looking for a cover at one time because I gouged the bottom of my steering wheel with the clip on my knife that was in my pocket when I turned my legs around. I was about to pick up a cheap one from Walmart, but after trying a couple out, the fit was poor and just gave up on it.

    I have an all black, smooth Wheelskinz cover on my Tacoma. I installed it three years ago and it's working out great. 824283A6-64F7-4F49-9FBB-75713EB0DF0F.jpg
    I ordered the cover via their website. It did not fit. The "bumpouts" at 2:00 and 10:00 o'clock were too small. I called Wheelskinz and they promptly sent the right cover @ no additional charge, nor did I have to ship the first cover back. Great customer service.

    I recommend contacting them before ordering.

    Installed wheelskins on a different brand vehicle 7 years ago, it’s still perfect and I would do it again without hesitation. Took me about 90 mins taking my time.
