Where can I get a steering wheel cover for my max?

My 95 GLE is white outside and tan inside. Steering wheel is I guess coffee-colored. It's all cut up since I started wearing a ring on my finger (I should have stayed single ).

I find the steering wheel feels kinda skinny so I wouldn't mind something a little beefier, and of course to fit and match the car perfectly.

Autozone, pep boys, walmart....probably anywhere that has an automotive section. Honestly, I found mine at the $1 store and pep boys had the same EXACT one for 11.99

So the "one size fits all" was okay? Does it now feel "spongy" ?

Well, everyone I tried was a little small, so i kinda had to stretch it around which was no big deal. It doesnt really feel spongy, just a lot thicker. If you were to drive with it on, then suddenly take it off and drive, youll notice the difference Im talking about. I dont really like it but my steering wheel is worn so i need it

Don't get one of those superskin stitch on crap that you get pep boys. The manufacturer didn't figure that the inside of the wheel has a smaller circumference than the outside, and it'll never fit properly. The cover needs to have been made with a cross sectional curve, or there will be extra material and no place to put it. It can't be sewn up to fit right.

LOL. That's engineering at its finest. Not.

Actually the suggestion by mzmtg looks doable.
