Skitime Posted June 16, 2013 Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 Anybody tried a wheel skin on their Cmax yet? I'm thinking about trying a red/black perforated cover, but wondered how the fit is? Here's the link to look: http://www.wheelskins.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtb9153 Posted June 16, 2013 Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 I had one of these on my last two vehicles, they worked quite well and stayed nice and soft for several years. I just kept them lubed up with a good leather protectant. Was a bit of a challenge getting the lacing in place especially around the wheel spokes. You have to really lace up tightly to get a good look and then tying off the ends and keeping them from unraveling was hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skitime Posted June 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 Yep,I had one on another car, and really liked it, other than the install! I am wondering how it will fit over the thumb ridges @ 10 & 2? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoBro2 Posted June 17, 2013 Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 I'm curious as to why you would want to cover a leather wrapped steering wheel with another leather cover. Aesthetics? Feel? Preservation of the original leather? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Preservation of the original leather?I would do it for a different color scheme to give it a more racy look. They make one with black and red portions. I had one of these on my GMC Syclone, looked very cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viajero Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 I'm curious as to why you would want to cover a leather wrapped steering wheel with another leather cover. Aesthetics? Feel? Preservation of the original leather? The first time I did it to preserve the original surface. Then I noticed that making the wheel thicker made it much easier to hold (at least for my hands). I've since put one on every new car. The install is a pain, but I think it's worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
