I was wanting to put a restored stock steering wheel back on my car...a leather slightly padded wheel like the RS. The picture below is from an outfit in Dallas that just quoted me a price of $399. I thought for sure I heard or read somewhere the price from this outfit was around $300??
Anyone buy from them...if so are you happy with the workmanship? Any other vendors that people have used? I know I could do it myself with a kit, but I want it too look professionally done. Thanks |

I had Dallas Steering Wheel do 2 wheels for me and I know that EricShea has used them as well. I did the double wrap. They do Very Nice Work and the turnaround is very quick. However DON'T let them paint the wheel, their finish is in correct T.C. So T.C. - which color & mfgr. paint is correct & from which source(s)? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) .... so we can all have DSW recover (single OEM wrap in my case) & then repaint or touch-up the wheel spokes/hub & horn butterfly ourselves. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) You might try Sierra Madre Collection, as IIRC they sell a new 380 mm RS wheel also, but don't recall the price (maybe around $500?). Personally I like the original Patina on the wheels. The only part that seems to wear off is by the Horn Pad, so you never will see it. If you buy a Sierra Madra Wheel, it's a replica without original parts #s. I don't see the point. I love (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) MY Double Wrap. I didn't think I was going to pry Steve Gaglione's fingers off mine when he saw it. T.C. |
