Default Steering Wheel

Just bought a used steering wheel, with the intention of covering it in black alcantra with red stitching. For those of you who may have done something like this, who would you recommend? Caravaggio, Apsis,other? What about converting it to a "D" wheel-doable with the C5? THX.
