looks like a pretty expensive job and not my cup of tea but definitely much better than stock

Paul redid the wheel in my 87 XJ-6, and it came out fabulous. He suggested covering the horn pad (not leather from the factory) and I really like it. The turn around time was pretty quick as I recall.

your 4 spoke looks really cool!

It must not be cheap and to me, I wouldn't even spend 5$ on those stock 4 spoke wheels. There's too much going on and unless you have giant hands, too big isn't better. Try holding a thick wheel for a long drive and you'll have cramp in your hands.

Why bother with the horrid 4 spoke? Better spending the money on a 996 3 spoke?

My wife's car has a three spoke steering wheel.

It is a Toyota.

It looks a little like a stuffed toy wheel. But to each his own...
