You can make your steering wheel cover look like new, just re-paint it. The paint I used was TAMIYA COLOR for Plastic. The color was Matt Black TS-6. You can wet sand with 500 or 600 grit sandpaper to feather in the bad areas.
I hope this helps.

I worked with Oasis Wheels, and got them to agree to paint them up the way we want if we do 10 or more sets.

Just my 2 cents..
They are going to look good...Use playing cards or business cards in between the wheel and tire Attached Images Looks good but will the paint "truly" stick to the aluminum.?? I'd love to do mine good..

$125 and I could paint #784U for the Satin Graphite wheels? I have tried Cadillac and also several body shops, but no one has it or can make it.
