No I did not like dealing with them. Very unresponsive.

Go to Coby wheel (alcantara only options) or call these people:

http://www.dallassteeringwheel.com/

Neither option is cheap, but they're good.

Well, my experience with RedlineGoods was the opposite...
I have bought a few things from them for my previous cars and never had any issues. Hence my suggestion.
But yeah, it's always good to have more than one option.

Get an M-Wheel to replace your current wheel. I really like mine, and occasionally you can get them on sale for ~$600-ish.

Dallas Custom did a terrible job on a wheel of mine. I asked them to re-do it, which they agreed to do. It came back even worse. I refused to pay.

They have done good work for me in the past but after that experience I will never use them again, hit or miss...

$59.

I got this for my b-day on Monday. The product seems very nice, and it has a whole install kit with needles, double-sided tape, thread, and very detailed instructions regarding how to sew it. I'll be installing when I have another vehicle to drive if need-be, but initial impressions are very, very good.

Redline goods remanufactures steering wheels now? I love their products, been using their shift and brake boots on my cars for years.

Might get a flat bottomed steering wheel from them. Need to check it out.

I also hunted for a decent BMW re-wrapper such as http://cobywheel.com/

I ended up purchasing a full wheel from Ledermanz on EBay, and selling my OEM wheel for a hundred bucks to cover some of the cost. It was going to be about $400 all said and done for a really nice re-wrap, and my wheel was $500 from Ledermanz.



So far it's excellent. Love the shape and quality, still ~$300 less than a regular Alcantara BMW Perf. Wheel.

I wrapped my steering wheel yesterday with the aforementioned Xuji wrap. It wasn't too hard, just tedious and repetitive. I have to say, it looks pretty darn good for a person who can't really sew. The leather is very soft, and will definitely wear better than any alcantara, and the stitches look consistent and even. I'll take some pictures when I get the chance.

I'd recommend just getting an updated steering wheel.

There ya go! I like the soft leather much better than the OE wrap, I need to restitch the top, though. I skipped too many spaces.

That looks great Chris. You remind me of me at your age. Lots of time, not a ton of money, and a willingness to try anything. You should have seen my first home made full interior on my first car.

No pictures of the inside, but a 1973 Opel Manta that I paid $150 for in 1979.


I painted it in my garage, with a little help from my dad.

I LOVE IT! I really wanted a vintage car, but this area is so hard on cars that I'd feel guilty for driving it. I looked for Triumph GT6s, Opel GTs, 2002s, etc.

I've had 10 Opel GTs over the years:







Just a few of them.

Those are some nice cars! There's another member I know who likes Opels. Wonder if he'll notice your post. Maybe I'll help him. His name is mackeroni.

Hey, thanks for sharing these pictures, Steve! I drove my 1970 GT for a few years in college and just after. Have always just loved the shape of this car. There are many cars faster and better handling, but that mini-Vette look just gets in your DNA or something. Wish I still had it. Also wish I could still fit in those jeans!

Thanks for sharing... Mack
