Default Suede wrap/cover for steering wheel?

Does anyone know if you can either get a suede wrap or cover for your steering wheel (ala porsche gt3, lambo superleggera for better grip). Id prefer a wrap over a cover.

Was thinking maybe fabric places might have the material, get them to cut a small amount for me.

(and yes I did search....apologies if I didn't search right).

Thanks,

Shane.

Thats what I was thinking, surely you would be able to source something local for a fraction of the price.....?

Get it done by a trimmer? Won't cost more than a hundred dollars or so. The only problem with wrapping a wheel with leather or something already on it is it will be super thick after, but if you don't mind then go for it.

I've had the same thing on my mind for a while, I'll do it once i upgrade to a 3 spoke steering wheel. Alcantara > suede a much tougher material

Ring a trimmer and find out yourself? Its just a rough estimation. Its an easy job to do, takes about an hour.
