Pep Boys has a nice thin real glove leather wheel cover available for about
$15.00... Comes with needle and thread. You may have to trim the width if
you have a narrow wheel(like Spitfire or Herald) but when installed, they
look great. (I trimmed mine both sides to keep the original center line of
the leather. They were available in both Black and Tan, with a very nice
grain. Only difference I found from what was on the wheel I recovered was
that it had two seams rather than one, where it joined.
