Where did you get it? Does it make the wheel fat and ugly like all the other covers I have seen (no offense if it does)?

Wheel and shift **** wear shows a lot more about how hard you grip the wheel, and whether you wear a ring(s).

the wheelskins covers are really nice, actually. because on my one-hand style i went through one in about a year and haven't gotten another since. they're also a magnet for mechanics with dirty-ass hands

stock steering is so over assisted, you only need 1 finger to steer. My car tracks relatively straight, don't need much pressure in daily driving. autox and hotlapping is different, hands just above the horizontal spokes. Drifting I have my hands below the spokes.

Previous owner was petite woman, I think she had soft hands or something, there was no wear when I got the car @ 90k miles.

have not put it on yet but it seems high quality and I dont think it will make it fat and ugly, I mean you have to use the provided seewing needle and wax thread to wrap it your self. I believe from all the pics I have seen that they are very nice. Go to ebay and type in wheelskins nissan maxima and you will find them. If you are going to order you need a Size AX for a 87-96 and I believe a sixe AXX for 97-98 and a C for 99 and up....any other questions let me know.
