I agree. That's why I went the Wheelskin route two years ago. Also it is not
made of vinyl. It's leather which would explain some of the difference in
price.
Sidenote: When I was checking around two years ago I priced having the wheel
re-gripped and recovered by a website whos address eludes me now and they
wanted $180. A new steering wheel was that price or lower.
