Default Steering Wheel Question

Does anyone know of a place or method to redye the leather or recover a steering wheel? I'm looking for something that is reasonable and still looks good. Thanks!

How about just buying a new ( or newer ) steering wheel. The 4 spokes are relatively cheap ( under $200 )

I got a replacement steering wheel ( in midnight blue ) for about $175. It's even tiptronic too!.. Although I don't have a tip car, I might eventually hook it up to my stereo.

Default Steering wheel color change...

I had my local interior shop dye the leather on my wheel from the original red to graphite/black.
They charged me $75 and did an excellent job.

Joe,

I assume your sw is black. I have a like new black OEM four spoke that I bought to replace my Classic Gray sw, but installed an AJ-USA three spoke instead. Contact me if you want to buy it, it's just sitting on the shelf.

As usual, lots of good input - thanks. Actually I'm looking for a black and burl wood 3 spoke. My shift **** and ebrake handle are the burl wood from the factory. I've potentially found one in dark blue and was looking for ideas so that if I go for it, I can get it dyed to black.

I've never used them but Alan Gun Leather (http://www.aglausa.com/) advertise in Panorama all the time. Maybe someone here has some experience with them.
