OEM Suede Sterring Wheel

Get it done in Alacantra like the IX seats

I use that stuff (or the American equivalent Microsuede) on all sorts of stuff

If you get it, make sure you get the thick one designed for seats and stuff since it is more durable

Yeah, that's the stuff GTWORX used to wrap it in... I think it was GTWORX. I forgot what it was. I knew it was similair to suede in look and feel. I want red stiching too

Maybe the guys that do the custom leather shift boots? I don't remember their name but I think they are a vendor here.

I would find a local custom shop and ask who does their interiors. Then talk to that guy and see if he has done any microsuede.

I have worked with it a little prototyping some stuff, and if you get the heavy duty one they use for seats and stuff it should have a cloth backing so that it can be glued to the steering wheel. Then find a wheel you like and have it done. I like the stock wheel, but would probably have them add a little more padding to fit my hands.

If you want an aftermarket one, dunno who makes one that fits the air bag.

you could try getting in touch with redlinegoods. I know they do custom order shift boots and such so they might be able to help you out.
