I'm sure I'm not the only one that has a rotted/deteriorated steering wheel... Has anybody found a good repair option that doesn't involve an aftermarket wheel without an airbag? I''ve been looking for a replacement leather piece that can be stitched in, however I haven't found anything that looks OEM or high quality. I've searched several junkyards as well and couldn't find any in decent shape. Anybody have any luck?

Redline goods.
Not sure how close their stuff is to OEM, but they have lots of choice and the people that have their products looks good.

Hmmm I've seen some of the pictures of their products online and for some reason the wheel covers just look... off... Or something. If it's the only decent option I guess it'll have to do but for $150+ shipped I'd really expect something to look good/not out of place in the car
Do a Google search for better pics. The pics on the site do look off.

Redline has done a lot of the wheels on here and we have all been happy with them. They were just running a sale I think it was 15% off and they do from time to time so keep your eyes open or subscribe to them and they will mail them to you.

Could always go FR500 too, nicer whee that keeps the airbag.
Can you find any FR500's?
I have one and it's one of my favorite SN purchases but they are almost impossible to track down now.

redline can make an fr500 out of a standard wheel, but you need to either ship it to them or have him buy one and cover it. Pretty sure its not something you can wrap yourself.
yeah every real FR500 I've found is well over $500... ridiculous! So it seems that steering wheel options are Craft Customs in TX for about $250 or Redline for $100... I might check with some upholstery places around here in PHX to see if they've done something like this. I'll let y'all know, but those craft customs ones look perfect
