I got UUC pulleys a few years back and noticed a difference right away...

OUCH.
Dane,
Methinks that $60 is better spent towards a Coby wrap. The wheel skin would only be a bandaid for that particular wheel... :eyetwitch
The wheelskin would make it thicker though, which I've always been fond of. I guess we'll see what happens... but that wheel is unbelievable! What did the PO do to that poor thing...
Just mentioned a quick and fiscally conservative option. There are always better/more expensive ways to do things. Like many of us...what happened to him was unplanned, as mentioned above. I have had my Wheelskin for over a year and am still happy with it. Will do it mote better/more expensive, when that's a priority for me.

He was planning on it anyway, which is the only reason I mentioned it... it's still useable as-is.
Actually,
If he wants a wheel cover, I can send him one free. I have one here but I do not need it, and would be a shame to throw it away. It's black and would match the interior, and should suffice until he decides what to do.
I wish I took a pic of it before. The wheel was mostly just all fabric all held together by grease and the only way I can describe it is almost like leather. Long drives would be terrible because my hands would sweat and all.
Like I said before, I planned on getting a new wrap soon anyways. This was kinda a test run of what I can and can't do on my new wheel & fabric. I did probably scrub too hard in hopes of bringing the fabric back up. I have seen DIY's where this happens, and you use the fabric shaver to get rid of the extra fabric like at the top of my wheel. The color discoloration..was NOT planned though lol. Next time I'll be using a new,clean cloth
I purchased M0nk3y's lit shift knob for my ZHP today...:)
