Default C3 steering wheel cover

Trying to find another steering wheel cover close to this one, it was about 20 years old when it started to fall apart, this an old photo of it.

All of the covers out now are too big of a diameter and when laced up actually overlap the other side.

Any help welcome.

There is a member here on this forum that does the steering wheel wrap, I just can't remember who it is, sorry
Try doing a search for "steering wheel wrap" and see what turns up

The guy you're thinking of is Chuck Pelton, from West Bloomfield, MI. He wrapped my C3 steering wheel in a solid black leather and did a great job! His phone number is (248) 681-4336. I don't know if he has a leather option available like the one you showed in your photo, but it's worth a try. PM me if you want more details on price, etc.

This is a Pelton-ized wheel.

Thanks all in info, that red wheel looks nice.
I think the cost would be prohibitive tho.

Thanks again

Not very expensive, at all. If you send Chuck your steering wheel like I did, he will cover it for around $175, plus shipping costs back to you. That's what mine cost. The only difference was mine was solid leather, whereas yours looks like some kind of leather weave material. That may be a little more ...
