    Quick question for those of you who got wheelskins steering wheel covers, which color works best with the steering wheel, black or charcoal? To me the steering wheel doesn't look quite jet black, but... Or do you recommend grey (I have grey interior)?
    Thanks

    Dear Fernsmom,

    I have a grey leather interior and I went with a black wheelskin and am happy with the way it looks. I didn't get the charcoal because I was worried about the possibility that the grey of my seats would not match the grey of the wheelskin and I would have a funky combination.

    BTW, if you wonder why I wrapped my steering wheel if I got a leather interior, and, presumably, a leather-wrapped wheel, my leather was installed after market.

    A second BTW, believe the directions when it says "tight is right". Wrap as tightly as you can. Also, when lacing I recommend only skipping one, two at the MOST, holes behind the wheel spokes to ensure a taught wrap which doesn't bulge up at the "fake" stiches.

    Kindest,

    I got the two-tone black and charcoal perforated. I couldn't be more happier, I will definatley buy more in the future.

    Also, I got the black and charcoal wet okole seat covers, they go extremely well together.

    Dallas2727, could you load a picture of your wheelskin? I am really interested in how the charcoal looks with the black.

    Kindest,
