Where can one find a leather or vinyl steering wheel cover to fit the smaller outer ring cross section? All I can find are the fat ones which are popular today. Thanks

Don't have a clue as to what you are trying to apply this cover to....big wheel, little wheel?
I found some great covers for my 20" stock 54 wheel at "the Chrome Shop" ,a chain that caters to "Big trucks".....usually found on Interstate exits. I hope this helps...if it doesn't, give us a little more info to work with!!!

Sorry, after reading my post it does reads like something my school instructors would put on the board. They understood exactly what it meant but no one else did.
Simply, I need a leather steering wheel cover. It needs to fit the older style wheel, the part you hold, which are not as "fat" as the newer ones. The truck has be reupholsteried and I need a color matching (tan) cover I cand stitch on the wheel. I tried several web sites and a local leather shop, but no luck. Thanks

Been there...done that!!! Save yourself some leg work! I've already done it for you....check out the truckstops/"The Chrome Shop"....I beat the bushes trying to find anything decent that would fit a large diameter stock wheel, to no avail. They (it's a chain) have a good selection of covers of all types.

They aren't cheap, but who would put a cheap cover on a $200K truck? Hope this helps!

I just checked out their website....sorry, no tan covers. They have the inexpensive lace-up covers for 18-19" wheels. I bought one of their black 20" slip on covers...good fit and comfortable. The problem is that most modern trucks use smaller diameter wheels (w/power steering) so the stock of covers for larger diameter wheels, is rather limited in a specific color.

Good luck in your search.

I used a leather cover from Wheelskins (www.wheelskins.com - Sorry, never mastered links to the sites). The local NAPA didn't carry them, but the big city supplier 120 miles south of us swung by the next day on its regular run. The cover isn't one of the nice old-fashioned wrap on style but it looks pretty good. The kit comes with twine and a needle for stitching it onto the wheel. Comes in a number of colors. I got dark brown, which was pretty close to my wheel color. One problem is that although it fit on the AD wheel's big circumference, it was fatter than the diameter of the rim, what you grip with your hands. So I cut the cover narrower and poked new stitch holes in it and reglued the edge. A tedious job. Local shoe repair gave hints on the kind of glue to reinforce the cut edge. If I were to do it over again, I would layer and glue leather strips inside the cover to tighten the fit and get a fatter wheel to grab onto.

If you're doing your interior, why not use whatever your using for the interior and make your own?
