So. Finally done this cover on my wheel. It's taken just short of 4 hours.
It's easy enough, just faffy.
This is one of the "MeWant" offerings, obviously in the finish & trim I wanted.
I've had it a few months, cost back then was £27 delivered.
It does have a great feel. It's also nice to have a slightly thicker wheel now.
There are a couple of small "ruffles" which actually look far worse in the photos than they are.
Im hopeful that with a bit of use, these will smooth out. Time will tell. The wheel heating comes through great.
All in all I'm quite pleased. Don't get me wrong, it's not as oem as a proper wheel retrim, it's just impossible to get all the stitching uniform.
But for less than £30 I just can't complain really, compared to £000's as the alternative.
If it gets too much for my ocd, or it doesn't wear well, it'll be a doddle to remove. And I can live with a £30 loss.
So in conclusion, I'm quite happy with it.
I couldn't be bothered to remove the wheel or paddles. Should you do so, I'm certain the end finish would be better.
