This is kinda noobish but like many i really want a nice steering wheel cover for my maxima. Id like something nissan/oem or as close to similar as possible.

Anyone have any ideas?

I know most of you will say go to walmart or autozone but i cant stand those cheap covers that smell like neoprene. Just seeing if anyone has any luck.

Thanks

I was meaning to make a thread like this. I wanted to find out what was the closest matching to the brown of my interior.

For you, you can just get black...

 

I used something like the wheel skins. It came out pretty good. It doesn't look far from stock.

 

+1 for wheelsskins

 

I've had mine on for quite a while now. I am pretty happy with it.

 

Anyone using it with the brown/tan interior? If so what color did you get to match the stock wheel?

 

uh, stock is brown, but tan would match with the leather seats.

 

So I need brown?

Not oak or tan or sand?

 

I would get oak and sand for a tan interior, the brown looks way to dark to match the dash. The oak looks like it would match the factory colored dash.

 

I am planning on getting the oak on top and bottom and black perf on the sides. i think it might look good. not sure about how oak is in person though. thats y i havent purchased it, i wanna make sure it matches something in my tan interior. i installed one from wheelskin on my girls car and came out great. spent about an 1 doing it but its worth it.

 

oh right now as after posting ^ i noticed on wheelskins u can order samples of all the different colors, i just ordered it and its free.

 

Haha, sweet, I just ordered a bunch of samples too.

I am going to order from them when I order since it's cheaper.

 

I have the euro-tone one with oak color sides and sand color top and bottom. Matches the brown and the leather real nice.

 

Did you guys install over the old cover?

Mine is a GXE so I don't think it had a cover

 

hey felix that looks great, so the sand color is pretty much the same as our tan leather, i have ur same interior. wonder how tan top bottom and black sides would look.

 

Thanks man. If you have black interior trim pieces then it might be OK.

 

I might do the same as you felix, but I am getting the porforted(spell) top and bottom

 

Perforated, LOLz

Why not swap to a 97+ SE wheel? The airbag?

 

I already have the SE wheel.... Stock....

Too much work to swap a wheel. This is only 40 bucks.
Odds are a used wheel will be worn out too. On mine the leather is worn down to what looks like wood.

 

i bought the dark shade of brown and it matched perfectly.

 

damn another fix-it on the list

 

Matched better than the "oak" in the picture above?

 

Yeah that will look nice.

 

I got the perforated one to match my wheel exactly. Black perforated sides, black non-perf top and bottom. The wheel feels very good now, and it looks great as well. Make sure you take your time and be thorough when you install it, I spent a lot of time on mine and it came out really well except for a section I did in the very beginning. Pull all of your stitches very tight and keep them very tight.

 

Do you guys condition yours at all? Mine is fairly new, still being soft and supple and all, but am curious to know what a little conditioner might do.

 

I haven't conditioned mine at all, it's been at least 6 months and it's still pretty much the same as new.

 

Just get a new racing steering wheel

 

No, but I clean mine with a Magic Eraser - it works really well.

 

my 96 wheel was darker

 

Do you have any pics of the wheel cover? The oak looks a little lighter than the oem brown wheel. Pics of the brown cover would be great thanks.

 

Nice, I just picked up a box not too long ago to use on my door jams. Have to give it a go on my skin too. Thanks for the suggestion.
