I know several people including Dane who have bought wheel rewraps for their car. Since mine is not a zhp im not looking into alacantra. Was just curious if anyone has any recommendations on a quality replacement. I've looked into wheelskins before and was just curious what anyones experience with them have been. Also curious about the perforated leather option or if I would be better off sticking to just the normal.
Thanks fellas
Cobywheel is the way to go if you have the money and time. I did not...but was satisfied.

Naaa....just aesthetics. I think it looks sportier.
Colby = No Alcantara.

Yeah I can't afford 300 bones...im thinking the wheel skins is looking like the best option...should I measure the wheel myself or are they pretty spot on as far as how big it needs to be with diameter?

I had to measure mine because its an ///M3 wheel. I don't think you have to for regular wheel.

Also going to go ahead and recondition my leather. http://www.autogeek.net/le32ozkit.html
Ive heard good things about the leatherique product so i'm going to give it a shot. Does this look about the best price and quantity ill need? My seats are pretty bad but hopefully not beyond restoration. I cant afford another 16 oz bottle of both of them so im hoping these two will be enough.
These are Wheelskinz cross lace wrap right after install before the leather molds around the wheel and eliminate the wrinkles.
