  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    I'm looking for old, worn out steering wheels. They might be sticky, they might have excessively worn rubber or even nicks missing in the rubber. As long as it isn't broken, I can use it to pad and wrap.

    Color is not important. I don't need hubs or horn buttons but might be interested if you have them.

    I'm hoping to have at least one to take to the GS Nats in May if possible.

    If you have one you want wrapped, I can return it at the GS Nats or you can drop one off there as well.

    Are looking for ppl who want to get theirs wrapped or for cores or both?

    I have one that has a loose outer ring that's probably be good core - I think it's a 15".

    How much will you charge to wrap a wheel?

    Yes, both. I was hoping to have at least one to take to the GS Nats to show off besides the one on my car, which I don't want to sell because I'd need to drive it home.

    I can do them in an economy Belinous leather cover for about $100 shipped back to you. These covers look good and are great if you want a baseball stitch in a contrasting color.

    Check this post in the thread to see some examples of the Belinous in red stitching on a black cover with baseball and cross patterns: https://www.v8buick.com/index.php?threads/anyone-wrapped-a-sport-wheel.358765/page-8#post-3107684

    I also do them in a higher-cost WheelSkins cover for about $135 shipped back to you. These covers have a rolled edge and a hidden joining seam. The baseball stitch doesn't look as good on these but the cross stitch looks very good in a contrasting color or in the same color as the cover.

    Check this post in the thread to see some examples of the WheelSkins compared to the Belinous: https://www.v8buick.com/index.php?threads/anyone-wrapped-a-sport-wheel.358765/page-6#post-3100837
