Superior 58-0700Y Superskin Steering Wheel Cover, Genuine Leather, Size "C", Gray

TL; DR:Looks fine, for the price.But it was incredibly difficult to install, even for someone with some experience installing them.With the next one, for my money (and especially time), I would select another product.For example, Wheelskins (available on this site and elsewhere) look and feel fabulous, come with waxed thread, and install much more quickly.Three stars because it:-covers the wheel-fit well on my Camry-is thick leather-is one piece with a single seam, so it has the potential for an OE look-no problems with the thread or needleBut…-The finish is not what you might expect of top grain leather (shiny, but tastes vary)-The unfinished sides (while making it easy to see that it is real leather, even after installation) detract from the final presentation-The small holes were, in fact, very difficult to push the needle through, as in, I needed pliers to pull it through each one. This was after enlarging them beforehand-the thread was unwaxed (as others mentioned), but even after 4 passes through wax, it did not retain much. Good news is that unwaxed thread is easy to pull and does not tend to knot easily. THE BAD NEWS: it doesn’t stay taut, so you need clamps to keep the cover properly placed on the wheel.-because of the above, it took MANY hours to install.I’ve installed many leather covers over the years, from thin, cheapie types to Wheelskins that cost 3x this one. By far, this was the most difficult. And, it took the longest-again by far-as in hours longer. It was exceptionally sensitive to being exceptionally tight.

Whenever I order something off the interwebz the first thing I do is read the reviews. I fount it surprising so many people who bought this did not bother to read the ordering instructions !What ever you do, if your steeering wheel already has a factory leather cover, DO NOT REMOVE IT !I put this in a 2003 F-150 which has a big 15" wheel and took the “C” size cover. It fit perfectly. However, as noted by several others the “holes” are simply pinpricks and more for marking than stitching. Open them up either by using an awl or a dremel mini drill. I’d also suggest throwing away the cord and needle supplies and use a heave waxed cotton thread with a curved sail makers or upholstery needle. Most sewing departments in local stores will have curved needles. Get one it really helps.If you’re confident in your skills use a thread in a contrasting color it’ll look really cool.It also helps if you know the fundamentals of sewing which is not considered a manly skill these days. You might want to do a search on the process known as a “baseball stitch” where you guide the needle over and under then back over the two sides of the cover. This stitch will pull the cover together tightly if you do it right,If you find the cover getting crooked as you sew it don’t worry. When you finish a section off grab the newly stitched section and twist it with both hands. You’ll need “man hands” to do this because if you stitched it correctly it will be difficult to move.The hard part will be large flat spokes. You will get some bunching and it will not lie flat because you are taking what is essentially a two dimensional object and forming it around a three dimensional object.. You can form this bunching into pleats if you know what you’re doing and you’ll need a modified running backstitch. Its difficult to describe but you’ll need to have a stitch which will pull the leather together along the front side of the steering wheel and then work a locking stitch back in the opposite direction before proceeding forward. Depending on how many spokes your steering wheel has you may not have this issue (more spokes = better as more spokes generally mean narrower spokes)The pic is the finished wheel.

This is the second Leather Wheel Skin I purchased from Amazon. Now I have two different sizes. From looking here and at Superior's PDF brochure, here is how I came to a proper size conclusion. (Amazon's description is off and I won't waste my time letting them know because I have in the past and, regardless of what they sent me and product reviews that stated otherwise, Amazon insist their description is correct)When I ordered the first cover they showed a standard size and an "Extra Wide". I have a thin wheel (leather wrapped 82-89 Camaro Z28 wheel) so the Extra Wide would be way too wide. I ordered the Standard size and got a size "B". The Item number for that one was 58-0600B ("B" in the item number being for the color, black). That one, with some padding added to the wheel so it would fit tight stretched out to 3 7/8". This second cover is item number 58-0650B and it is size "A". Its not on the wheel yet and right from the box it measures about 3 1/4". Size "A" shows up to 3 1/2 which is good because the leather will stretch and be tight on the right size wheel.So,Item Number 58-0650 would be a size "A" (Grip size 3 1/4"-3 1/2")Item number 58-0600 would be a size "B" (Grip size 3 5/8"-3 7/8")I don't know what item number size "C" would have.As for what I used for padding to make the larger cover fit tight, I took some of the packaging foam material that you may find wrapped around aluminum parts to protect them and cut it into a strip to go around the wheel.Other than sizing confusion, the cover is a pretty good piece of leather. The first one I did, I did in the cross stitch. Its important to do a few stitches and then go back and, with a small hook tool (radiator hose tool), pull the stitches tight again. Hook the stitch, press the thread to the tool with your thumb and lightly tug to tighten the threads. This took a long time (with a few breaks in between) but made the wrap super tight and did not break the thread or tear the leather. Keep going back to tighten the stitches and as you go further, the stitches further back will remain tight.No reason to deduct any stars for the item due to the poor sizing description.

Las instrucciones deberían considerar las variantes en brazos de volantes (cuatro) y cómo evitar se formen pliegues en el segmento final del cosido.

Very good quality, nice fits perfectly looks like factory installed

I gave this four stars due to the fact of no instructions with it. I would like to install the leather and learn to cross stitch, oh well I'll fake it.
