Wheelskins for tan interior

Anyone have experience with Wheelskins for the tan interior regarding color match. Looks like oak or sand from the pictures but not sure. I have requested samples but have not recieved them yet. Thanks.

In my 2002 sand is a great match. Oak was a little too dark. I don't know if they still send out samples, but you might be able to talk them out of those two swatches to verify the color in your truck.

It's a great product by the way.

Yes, I did request the samples but it has been a week and haven't recieved them. I thought sand would be a good match but pictures can lie. Thanks for your help.

Yes, I ended up going with the sand and tan two-tone. Took a while to install using the baseball stitch instead of the loop stich in the instructions. Here is a picture.

Very nice wheel! I might do something like that with my king ranch just to save the factory wheel.

My original wheel was just the factory plastic, no leather. Just go to the Wheelskin website and put in vehicle model and year. They will fix you up with the right skin. Installing it is fairly easy but takes some time and patience. Make sure each stitch is tight and even. The instructions say to plan 2 hours for the install, I took 4 hours but that included some breaks where I went into the house to actually do some work! You will like the final result. Gives the wheel a much more substantial feel.
