I see most of these being over in Europe..anyone have any places they recommend over here in the US?

There's a company in Texas, if I'm not mistaken. Do a search on a thread by russap5.

However, from what I remember, the perforated leather looked better done by the European companies.

Contact slimmbones. He can get it done for you. I've personally seen the alcantara one on his car. Quality was amazing.

Heard nothing but good for the Dallas company that does it. Tons of experience - I wouldnt even think twice about sending it to em if I wanted my wheel rewrapped

I think I paid $300 or so. You don't want alcanatra, suede is much more durable. I've had both, alcantara will ball up and rub off, suede will not.

 

[dookateh]

Suede and alacantra look alike right?

Yes, but alcantara is a fabric, while suede is a hide.

Is it like our headliner?

You can't tell the difference between alcantara and suede. IMO it will match the headliner material - I am going to swap steering wheels from my M3 to my M5 then wrap the leather one in suede too. Match it up with a boot from LeatherZ and you're all set.

 

[Steven Ferrario]

will they do the e-brake boot to?

Not sure but you can get alcantara boots from leather z.

 

[M55555]

will they do the e-brake boot to?

Yeah I think they specialize in steering wheels. You can get e-boot cover from Redline or Slimmbones, both high quality products.

 

[slimmbones]

Guys,

i have alot of projects and wont be doing steering wheels anymore but i will be making alcantara shiftboots and e-brake boots in color 9002 which matches the headliner in our m5 they will be ready in 2weeks
