Like the one above? I'm curious how it looks. I have the light gray/charcoal interior and am wanting to ad some black accents to match the leather sheets I just installed.

Opinions wanted:
I have a 2009 XLT Screw Ruby\Razor/Red metallic with saddle tan interior. I was thinking of getting a 2-tone Europerf Wheelskin brown to match interior and red to pick up the red exterior...there is no red inside the truck...it's stock. Think it's a bit too much, or a snazzy accent? I can see how it might be neat-o, but also how it could suck donkey *****.
Would consider getting this alternative wheel cover black with red stitching...it may fly with less red, and the black is easily picked up by the black plastic in the truck.

I installed w Wheelskins brand and the cord which is sticky had a knot in it. I called Wheelskins and they sent me a new cover. The install is time consuming but very doable. I used small pieces of double sided sticky tape to hold the skin while stitching around the spokes. Overall, I'm happy, it looks great and feels great. Take your time (about 45-60 minutes) and it will look great. FWIW, I got my Wheelskins off EBay for less than $30. Oh, don't be afraid to pull tight on the stitches - they won't break through and I've noticed they will loosen up a hair over time.

I actually bought it off EBay. The seller had a lot of them. Like I said the string had a knot in it when I was installing it. I thought i was out of luck since I bought it off eBay, but Wheelskins sent me a replacement right away. Oh, they sent me a whole new wheelskin, not just the thread.
