    Here is the link for wheelskins:

    http://www.wheelskins.com/

    I did a google search for faux alcantara steering wheel covers and didn't get anything meaningful, so if you could find the link I'd be interested. I'll probably wait to order anything until the cracking on the steering wheel bothers me again. Thanks for the input guys.

    My steering wheel was looking pretty poor until I did the steering wheel maintenance per bmwe34.net (http://www.bmwe34.net/e34main/mainte...ring_wheel.htm)
    Worked pretty well for me... no more peeling and it's shiny black again!

    About those Wheelskin covers: How much thickness do they add, and do they look like they "belong" or does it give a cheap look?

    Default Steering wheel refinishing.

    [Here is what I did with mine, on a warm day sand steering wheel with Fine sand paper, when smooth apply leather cleaner rub/clean and let dry, then apply 3 or 4 coats of Kiwi leather boot and shoe sole dressing (allow at least 1/2 hour drying time between coats, after the last coat apply 2 coats of leather conditioner, buff until dry, the result is a stunning "brand new looking" steering wheel for less than $7.00us.
