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 |

Yes I think you picture looks like the "Double Wrap"
The"Double Wrap" is not actually wrapped with material twice, there is a layer of felt then the "wrap". It is definately thicker than stock. Burton, I highly doubt they re-did the wrap over your old old leather. That wouldn't make sense as that not how the Original RSR wheels were done. The Dallas way is correct. Also I can't believe you would put a replica wheel on #41 when you have a Real numbered wheel. |
