Leather-wrapped steering wheel
My steering wheel was cracked and pitted in some places so I wanted to do something with it. Frankly, I can turn wrenches OK but I try to stay away from any kind of bodywork - filling, sanding, fine sanding etc. After seeing a thread on this forum about wheel upholstery I decided to go down this road. I am very happy with the result. The guys did a terrific custom job right in my garage.

Re: Leather-wrapped steering wheel
We have installed steering wheel wraps using a curved upholstery needle and plastic fishing line. The stitching is nearly invisible, and the fish line is extremely durable.

Re: Leather-wrapped steering wheel
They offered me similar option but I wanted the stitching to be visible. I liked such style of stitching.
