Wheelskins?

Anyone here have Wheelskins on their F250/F350 steering wheel?

How well does it fit?

How does it feel?

Pics?

This is what I have had in ALL my vehicles, simple easy to put on and adjust and Super cheap to replace. Just enough of a grip and squishy-ness to it.
Yes it is Old school but then again so am I

Looks like that's a ProElite you got there, not Wheelskins. I'm particularly interested in the Wheelskins brand.

Used Wheelskins on my 1999 Sentra and my 2012 Frontier. FANTASTIC product, take your time with the lacing and get the little leather and glue crumbs out of the wrap and it'll be perfect. I re-laced the one in my Frontier 3 times due to the leather stretching and conforming. Made for a nice hand feel. Both Nissans had plastic non wrapped wheels.

Wheelskins will send you color swatches too so you can see what you're getting before you buy. They are very customer forward.

I like mine a lot. On my first install I didn't pull the thread tight enough in a few spots and didn't like how it looked when I finished. Wheelskins sent me replacement thread at no cost to redo it. It feels great and is a lot cheaper than than buying a higher models steering wheel. On top of having to remove yours and replace it with the new one.

I love my WheelSkins! Much better than the standard Ford leather wheel IMO. The Ford leather feels cheap and probably won't hold up. To install properly, it takes about 45 minutes but worth it.

Got a pic? I'd love to see a real one installed on a Ford.

That looks really good. Does it add much bulk? Does the wheel feel much thicker?

Yes, I know that, I was just giving you another choice in case you only wanted to spend $8
