Post pics of your non-stock steering wheels

The old 350mm Momo Quark wheel. I just ended up not liking the feel at all. All the lumps and bumps.
The replacement- 320mm Momo Monte Carlo. Its leather wrapped with red stitch & a very thick grip. I had one of the old F1 Momo horn plates, so I threw that on for the photo :p

I have a suede wheel. I think about fast wear on it as I drive, which makes me not "hang on it" with me thumbs or grip it like the car is about to throw me off the road. Don't get a cheap suede wheel as the glue around the spokes will let go and then it will look trashy.

A few pics of my "99 spec" 2003 Miata wheel. Have never been pleased with the quality of the recovering done locally a few years ago so I took some time to review all of the options and the quality of work from each shop. Ended up sending the wheel to Dallas Custom Steering Wheels:

Crappy website but fantastic customer service and work. I am blown away by the quality of the recovering but will let you be the judge.

Installed
I used perforated leather on the center sections and non-perforated on the bottom to mimic the 99 spec look but added Alcantara and a red stripe to the top. I also had "them inserts" added to the wheel and had it thickened to update its appearance.
All in all, very pleased and would highly recommend Dallas Custom Steering Wheels to you.

^ Thanks ZoomZoom. The old recovering of the wheel had bugged me for some time - just poor quality. Did a bunch of searching on the internet to find Dallas Custom Steering Wheels. Not a great website but the quality of the work they posted up was just better than the other companies I had considered.
Gotta say, I am in love with what they did. Fast, prompt, and great quality.

Here's my Momo Prototipo. Kind of surprised not to see more of these on FDs. It's an iconic wheel that matches well with the classic sports car touches in the guage cluster, and the drilled spokes echo my blacked out passenger footrest.

The plastics are new old stock from Mazda. I replaced the gauge hood, gauge rings & covers, stereo surround, and shifter surround. It was $$$ and it does look good, but I wouldn't recommend it. Mazda revised the '93 plastics so many times by the end that even the NOS pieces don't all perfectly match each other's finish. And of course none of them match the original factory plastics that are still on the door trims and are NLA from Mazda. At some point I'll probably sell these and re-do my old stock pieces, which were all intact but scratched up.
Everyone should totally get a new stock chrome gauge ring piece though. That was a small detail that made a huge difference.

Another Momo Prototipo, this one in silver. I used the Daikei S-601 hub adapter. A straightforward installation... horn works, turn signals return, and I have no cruise anyway. There's a module to disable the airbag light, too.
The steering wheel is in the perfect position for me and relative to the turn signal and wiper stalks.
