best steering wheel cover

my leather wrapped OEM steering wheel is worn on top. I need to get another steering wheel wrap. What is the best brand? Where to get it?

I did a little research and wheelskin looks like they got a pretty good product. Any comments?

Why not just buy a new wheel? Grant from Auto Zone look nice, but um, kinda speak for themself. Momo has nice wheels too. IMO, I always thought putting a cover on your steering wheel was tacky. I've seen a Maxima with a wool steering cover (it was my sister's max, I wanted to cry!) I saw another car with that dang "Hot Wheels" cover. URRGGGH!

Some options

I bought a leather steering wheel cover at Pep Boys for about $15 and put it on my car (my steering wheel didn't have a cover). It looks and feel pretty good, but one thing to keep in mind is that aftermarket covers won't have the factory look around the steering wheel spokes. If you want your car to look factory perfect here, that'll have t be a special/custom job. Some automotive upholstery shops might be able to do it for you or at least cut out a custom swatch for your application (stitching it on isn't hard, it just takes patience as it takes several hours). I noticed on Wheelskins website that they do special orders, may want to inquire if you want the factory finish.
