Re: new steering wheels
I thought about this while tooking at wheels. I would think you could get a cover without the bag, but no idea what it would cost. Not sure what one would cost, but I guess you could fab one up out of leather too and just use some padding of sorts.
<edit> something like this?

Re: new steering wheels
Why not make you a mold out of some expandable foam? After it dries you can shape it the way you want. You probably should spray the inside of the wheel with some Pam or non-stick stuff.
