Michael -
You may also with to consider steering wheel restoration services. It's not
cheap but the results are pretty awesome. I've used Pearlcraft in Australia,
they did a great job on my A90 steering wheel which had a coffee swirl color on
the rim. Of course basic black should be cheaper, something to consider. I
think someone in the US also does this type of work.
Best,
Alan
