Oh ok! I don't know about that brand.
I have considered wheelskins a few times now, but I just don't like how it looks. Granted it is better than every other wheel cover. I have decided I will bring mine into an upholstery shop soon and have them recover it for me, but this time in REAL leather.

I bought a Jeep wheel cover, I guess from Autozone, a while back. It was easy to clean, and had 'JEEP' on it - so it made me happy. The OEM steering was so thin, it needed to be a little thicker... So it served to purposes.
Got my samples from wheelskins today... the sand matches my seats almost perfectly. So im going to give it a shot: Top & Bottom will be Sand colored with black for the sides.
If you want your wheel re-done, this is even better then factory..Looking to do this myself..

All of the wheelskins "attempts" I have seen look pretty bad..B&I removes your old leather and replaces with new leather of your choice by a professional.. They come out awesome from this place and turnaround is pretty quick.

I have had a wheelskins installed for a few years now. I am pretty happy with it but you should take your time when installing to do it right. I rushed and messed up one thread and I always notice it. Don't get me wrong - most people think its a factory leather wheel. They fit pretty tight. As far as wear - it could be better. I got grey and the dye has worn off in spots to black. What I do like about the cover is that the steering wheel is a little thicker and is more comfortable for me when driving. OH - also make sure everything is nice and warm so you can stretch the leather during the install.
Sending the wheel off is also a great option - but you have to remove your airbag and the stealer will charge you to reset.
