Steering wheel options: suggestions?

[mtdoragary]

My Y2K wheel is shiny and slick, so as I see it, my options are 1. leave it alone (unacceptable), 2. clean it and get it soft and grippy again (LOTS of opinions on right and wrong way to do that), 3. Get it recovered (leading candidate at this point), or 4. replace it with an aftermarket wheel (pricey and wouldn't look right with stock air bag. What did YOU do, and based on your experiences, what would you suggest that I do?

It got shiny, cause you didn't take care of it to begin with.
Cheapest alternative would be to clean it with a product like>>>Leatherique Canada, or Zaino.

If that doesn't do it for you, get it recovered professionally, which is the only way it's going to look 'better than factory'! Cheesey 'wheelskins', or other 'covers' look like crap. Either you want to look good, or not. You get what you pay for!

My Caravaggio wheel, with custom thumb grips moulded in done when I had 1500kms on the clock.

There are no aftermarket wheels that can use the stock air bag.

This is the only AM wheel with air bag from 'Raid' in Germany, as small as 320mm, but $2300.

It had 115,000 miles on the clock when I got it and was VERY well taken care of, but thanks for the suggestions!

West coast Corvette makes one of the least expensive recovered wheels I've found.
