Restored 380 leather wrap wheel, vendors Options

[computers4kids]

I was wanting to put a restored stock steering wheel back on my car...a leather slightly padded wheel like the RS. The picture below is from an outfit in Dallas that just quoted me a price of $399. I thought for sure I heard or read somewhere the price from this outfit was around $300??

Anyone buy from them...if so are you happy with the workmanship? Any other vendors that people have used? I know I could do it myself with a kit, but I want it too look professionally done.

Thanks

I had Dallas Steering Wheel do 2 wheels for me and I know that EricShea has used them as well. I did the double wrap. They do Very Nice Work and the turnaround is very quick.

However DON'T let them paint the wheel, their finish is in correct

T.C.

So T.C. - which color & mfgr. paint is correct & from which source(s)? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

.... so we can all have DSW recover (single OEM wrap in my case) & then repaint or touch-up the wheel spokes/hub & horn butterfly ourselves. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)


You might try Sierra Madre Collection, as IIRC they sell a new 380 mm RS wheel also, but don't recall the price (maybe around $500?).

Personally I like the original Patina on the wheels. The only part that seems to wear off is by the Horn Pad, so you never will see it.

If you buy a Sierra Madra Wheel, it's a replica without original parts #s. I don't see the point.

I love (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) MY Double Wrap. I didn't think I was going to pry Steve Gaglione's fingers off mine when he saw it.

Dallas did one for me as well and for $175. It is great. I have one from Sierra Madre Collection for #41 that is of the same quality that I paid a lot more for.

I did not let Dallas paint the wheel because of what T.C. said. Dallas has a super fast turn around.

Dallas wrapped over the old making my new one like an RSR.
