My alternative to Aftermarket Steering Wheel

I have had my fair share of failed inspections due to aftermarket steering wheels, and theres no way every year im going to take off my aftermarket one and put on my stock one. Also, theres no way ima buy one of those el cheapo autozone/walmart/pep boys steering wheel covers, so i figured i would take the next most legitimate route. www.wheelskins.com Real leather and it feels nice on the hands. Plus that was my first time ever sewing, I think I did a relatively decent job, what you guys think?

looks good. I'll have to check it out. Did you have to take off your wheel when you sewed that on or did u do it while it was on the car?

Im not failing inspections now, cause im not using an aftermarket steering wheel, which is why i always failed in the past. This was my cure for that.

ok with that question out of the way, how's come you dont have your aftermarket wheel on now, thought you didnt wanna install/reinstall every year. so why did you wrap what look's like a stock wheel in leather, one that already passes inspections? or are you just ditching the aftermarket wheel all together?

I dont have an aftermarket wheel for this car, I was referring to my previous cars in the past which had them. That IS the stock steering wheel.
