Anyone Re-covered Their Stock Wheel With Suede

[made_guy]

Hey just wondering if anyone has re-covered a stock R33 wheel in suede? I don't think it would look the best, but it would be way more grippier, especially for people like me who get sweaty hands :S

Also if you have any idea on price, or suggested retrimmers that would be great too.

I would like to just throw a nardi on there but I actually wouldn't mind being hit by an airbag as opposed to a steering wheel centre if I was to have a crash.

yep I did this exact same thing (together with the gear stick and handbrake boot) in alacantra with blue stitching. Not only did it look great IMO but it was great for track use and gave me much better grip on the wheel.

Was done here in Vic by one of the best I could find and the quality showed....wasn't cheap though

daaayum!

sweet, i have to say it doesn't look great (the wheel that is - workmanship looks really good though), but i'm more of a performance over looks type guys (i'm ugly, so i have to be) so i'm glad it has improved handling - if i had thought of the gear and brake boot before I bought into the leather group buy i would have done that too! it actually looks sweet - hell sporty.

anyhoo, enough suckin' you off - how much? either pm or post as other may be interested and if a workshop did a good job for you, why not plug em unless that's against the rules?

Anthracite alcantara for me. Paid around £50.

whoa - how come you did the 'whole' wheel man? kind of looks like a stuffed toy. but effective i guess nonetheless
