Default Recommendations Please: Which leather steering wheel cover.
Anyone happy with what you’ve put on your 996 4 Spoke?

Interested in this too. I feel that my 4 spoke is just a tad bit to skinny for me.

Keep your original steering wheel. It's an important piece of the car.

Send your steering wheel to my guy. He is amazing.

He adds thickness to mine all the time. See his work on IG at drozdupholstery

I'm extremely picky and you can thank me later

I had mine wrapped in black Alcantara. Great feel and look.

Yes, the shifter is wrapped in silver Alcantara to match the painted center console.

Looks pretty cool. Had this done? How much?

I think I want to stick with leather, possibly perforated. So I’m looking for opinions on leather covers that others have used.

I’m not looking at replacing the wheel. Just covering it with leather and giving it more thickness.

Wheel cost me 250 and the shifter 100. I did it for the feel mostly. It feels really nice while driving with the Alcantara on the tactile surfaces.

Can you share where you had this done? I'd like to have my 4 spoke wheel done in alcantara also. Thanks!
