Universal Car Steering Wheel Cover Genuine Leather Stitch On Wrap (Size M, Black)

I saw a lot of positive reviews of this steering wheel cover and I thought maybe people rated it highly because of the relatively low price--that you get a lot for your money. What I found was that in fact the quality is high, period.I am very impressed by the look, feel, and manufacturing of the leather. The holes punched along the edges to sew through are precise and the stitching that joins the two ends together to form a loop is clean and strong. I selected size M for the wheel of my 2015 Subaru Forester Premium, based on the sizing information from the Wheelskins site. It fits well, though it was VERY tight to get it stretched around the rim of the steering wheel. I really wasn't sure it was going to fit at first, but once I got it on the tight fit makes it look closer to factory and feel great.I was optimistic about how long it would take to install, and it ended up taking a little over 2.5 hours. I used a loop stitch and it worked well, though it was difficult to pull each stitch tight and keep enough tension on the thread as I did the next stitch. You have to pull very hard on the thread to get the inside edges to meet, and I wish I had gotten mine just a little tighter. It comes with clear instructions, two needles, and enough thread with each to do the whole wheel using a loop stitch. The thread is strong and smooth. It doesn't cut into your fingers too badly and it did not break on me. The leather did not tear or deform as I pulled the stitches tight, either. I really like the end result. The wheel feels amazingly better than before (no leather on the original wheel). This cover gives a slight padding without being squishy, and it feels great. I worked hard to avoid gapping around the spokes, and in the end gapping was minimal, though that an expected issue with a cover like this that is not cut out to fit exactly on one particular model of car.I had a Wheelskins cover on my last car, which I installed and used, took off, and then installed again. As I recall the leather on that was slightly thicker and the seams bulkier. YMMV, but if anything I like this one a little better. That had plastic reinforcement strips along the rows of holes for the thread and this one does not, but I had no trouble with tearing or stretched holes on this one.If you are realistic about how much time and effort is needed for installation and the kinds of results you can expect, I don't think you will find a better quality wheel cover of this type. I am very impressed.

I realized quickly when I started installing the cover that I wasn't going to be 100% content with it no matter how long I spent on it, but for a $10 universal solution, I'm very happy. The result looks great, and I no longer have to look at or feel the worn away spots on my steering wheel. It doesn't quick look stock, but it looks and feels way better than a slip on cover. The only parts I'm not perfectly happy with are where the cover goes around the spokes, but there's really no way it could be better unless the leather was cut in a special shape just for my steering wheel.I have a 2005 F-150, and I bought a Large based on the chart. It was the correct fit.It took me somewhere around 3 hours. I just listened to a few episodes of Car Talk to pass the time, but it was fairly easy work, although a bit tedious. I backtracked a couple times while going past the spokes because I wasn't happy with how the thread was lying in the gaps where the leather couldn't come together all the way. Otherwise it was pretty straightforward. I followed the simple sewing pattern in the included instructions, which is basically just looping the thread around over and over. I'm perfectly happy with how the pattern looks, but some people may prefer to do something more complicated. My cover came with two needles and two sets of strings, presumably in case you want to do something fancier.I did modify the stitching pattern slightly when passing the spokes. The instructions say to do a "dummy" stitch by just looping the thread around the front side until you get past the spokes. However, doing that caused the visible thread to change from vertical to a 45 degree angle, and I didn't like the inconsistency. To fix that, I maneuvered the thread back around itself behind the leather after going around from the outside before proceeding to the next hole and pulling it back out from the inside so that the visible part would be kept vertical. For the most part, that worked well, and the angle of the thread is consistent around the entire wheel.I broke the string one time while pulling it tight--and you really need to pull it tight after every stitch--but I tied the two ends back together with a triple knot, used a lighter to fuse the knot, cut off the ends, and continued on. The knot ended up underneath the leather, so you can't even tell. Other than the one break, the thread seemed very sturdy, and the leather did not tear when pulling the thread tight.The included instructions say to wear gloves or use tape or band-aids to protect your fingers when pulling the thread tight. I didn't bother, but I see what they mean. My right hand has a small blister on most fingers in the same spot from gripping the thread and pulling it tight. I would do it again without gloves because it's not that big of a deal, but do know that installing the cover may beat up your hands a bit.I will consider buying one of these for any used car I buy that has a worn steering wheel now, although spending an entire evening on it is a bit of an annoyance. However, I like the satisfaction of having stitched it on myself and having something that looks like it belongs.

This is my 3rd leather wheel wrap from aully park. The leather quality is superb. The leather fits the wheel perfectly. Don’t guess the size of your steering wheel-measure it and use the company’s sizing chart and you can’t go wrong. Instructions are fantastic for getting the stitching right. Again don’t guess how to do it-follow their instructions! This cover is as for my new work truck which is a 2023 freightliner m2 106 truck. As you can see from the photos it fits perfectly and looks awesome. I couldn’t find many reviews or pics of large commercial trucks so I wanted to post this review to help others. Bring your patience if you want a quality look because there is a lot of stitching to do but it is worth it. Pull each stitch nice and tight, don’t be afraid to pull it won’t rip if stitches right. My only negative comment, and this has been true for the previous 2 covers I’ve purchased, is that many of the holes aren’t perforated thru and thru making finding the small stitch holes difficult to find and making the stitching take longer than it should. This may be more of an issue on the black or any darker colored cover . Other than that I can’t be happier and will our has aully park the next time I’m in need of a wheel cover.
