I had a thread a few years back, just asking for steering wheel pictures. There’s one in there that was wrapped. I swapped mine for a Forever Sharp wheel. I really like it a lot better than the stock wheel.

ROTFLAO on the pink fuzzy covers

The skinny plastic steering wheels used on the squarebodies don't lend themselves to leather wrap.

I would look into wrapping one of the larger diameter wheels that GM used in the 1988-1994 GMT400 C/K series and 1988-1991 R/V series squarebody SUV.
The early 1990's GMT400 SS and Sport truck models had factory leather wrapped wheels but good luck finding one.
Some of the Astro and fullsize G series vans are rumored to have used similar but not exactly the same wheels as early as 1985.

This is a faux leather wheel from a 1988-1994 GMC CK truck.

Four spoke F body, J body (Cavalier etc) and A body Celebrity steering wheels are another option. They probably used similar or the same wheels on the X body (Chevy Citation & similar rigs from Buick, Olds, and Pontiac).
This is an early 1970's Chevelle SS wheel... Same as the J body wheel with an SS horn button and an earlier date code.


This is a Chris-Fix howto on installing new leather wheel wrap using a baseball stitch and curved needles. Tedious and time consuming but not terribly difficult.

That looks a lot better than I would've guessed on the skinny diameter stock steering wheel ring. Nice work.

Yeah, that looks good. I wonder if a little bit of wettng it with a sponge and letting it dry would shrink it tight up against the wheel. Too much and it might pull on the stitches, but anyway, I like that.
