Wheelskins owners inside please.
I'm thinking of getting one of these steering wheel covers, as they look really nice but I have a question..
I have a 96 in Polo with the tan interior.
With the Iggee seat covers, I have a really nice black and tan thing goin on.
SO I want to get their euro tone cover, in black and tan.
But I cant figure out what one of their colors best matches the tan. Their tan looks WAY too dark, closer to saddle, and sand looks too light.. Oak looks close.
I wanted to know if any of the tan guys have found a wheelskin that matches our interior.

I know I can order the samples, but I didn't want to go through all that if some of my brethren had already went through it

I looked into the wheelskins and they just look fake. Granted they are the best bang for the buck but I splurged, sending my steering wheel to American Stitches. I had them 2-tone my steering wheel to match the interior. They sent me several color swatches to best match the color code.

I ordered samples about a week ago they should be here any day now. I have the same color situation and in the market for a cover since my steering wheels finish is going in the hole. If you want I can send you the samples after I get them to see what color you need. I ordered the Tan, Oak, and Sand color samples.

I did it to my car myself in about an hour. The instructions say to make the stitches very tight. I thought that if I pulled too hard, the thread would break, but it didn't. I'm not sure what it's made of, but it held up just fine. I got the red/black combo and it is tedious work. I'd post a picture, but I won't have the car returned for a few more months. It's not at all difficult to do and it certainly makes the wheel look much nicer.
