Wheelskins Red and Black leather wheel cover

I got my Wheelskin today and installed it. I bought the EuroPerf with Red on the top and bottom and Black on the sides. I got the perforation on just the sides.

Instructions said installation would take about 1 hour but it took me 2 hours. It was not really hard to install its just time consuming. I followed the instructions on how to stitch and everything turned out great.

Now I just have to get the red and black Wetokole seat covers to match.

Here are some pics.




Close up so you can see the stitching and the perforation.

 

Just got back from my first ride with it. It is very comfortable and has a very good grip. I normally dont like leather but this wheel cover is very nice.

I have a question for anyone that has a leather wheel cover. Do the seams ever flatten/smooth out or will there always be a bump there? Having my hands at 10 and 2 the seams are right on my palms. This is just a small annoying thing. I'll get used to it.

Good point about the airbags. I think I will retrain myself for safety.

Thanks.

I picked red and black because...

1. My car is Barcelona Red
2. My Wet Okole seat covers will be red and black
