Steering wheel cover
Hi Guys!
I searched about this topic, I can not find any discussion in the past.
I think the steering wheel of our TSX is to thin.
I do not like the leather and wood combination that is available, since I have ebony interior.
Any of you bought/installed a leather steering wheel cover to make it thicker? If so where did you get it? And how much does it cost?
TIA.

pea-tear-griffon, i think is how it went.
now that the 06 is out with a nice thicker steering wheel, it makes me think theres got to be a way to thicken the 04-05 without sacrificing looks or qulaity.
any ideas?
did i miss another thread about this?

More on steering wheels
Agree the rim's too thin. Did you see the picture of the new GLI steering wheel in the comparo (GLI vs TSX) on insideline.com ? Now, that's a steering wheel! Too bad you have to buy a VW to go with it.

I love the feel of the wheel... a fat steering wheel always reminds me of my Grandma's Buick.
I like to be able to get my entire hand around it and get a good grip (no comments from the perves
)

i dont think stainless steel "look" and plood grain go well together, but my large hands are in pain when i hold on to the seemingly dainty (lack of better word dont crucify) wheel.

I know for '06 they have both a metal look and a wood look wheel. What's the chance this wheel would fit the '05s. '06s have a thicker wheel so I would assume the accessory wheel would be also.

Or you could buy the new '06 wheel option that has silver where the wood was. '06 wheels are supposed to be thicker as well.

those accessory wheels do not look like they woudl fit over the new wheel which has an inward extending hump above the audio and cruise buttons.
maybe theres a strtchy elastci qulaity to them - either way, i dont like them. I want something that looks good, in dark leather that thickens the steering wheel.

Umm...those are complete replacement wheels. I think they are $500 each. I know they aren't shaped like the new wheel, but since they are an option for the '06 I would think they would have the same shape. I think they might've just used the old pic from the '05 and photoshoped the silver.
