Default Good steering wheel cover options

My hands are often dirty and I`d like to preserve my steering wheel.
Does anybody have any recommendations for any NON CHINA steering wheel covers?
Thanks

Another vote for Wheelskins.
Had one on my '06 when the "leather" started to peel on the factory wheel. Also had one on the Explorer I had prior to that. For $40-50 it's hard to beat. Take your time stitching it and pull it tight and the results will be nice. Provides a bit of increase in girth too if that's your cup of tea

I found mine on Amazon once you get the sizing right on their site.

100% Wheel skins!

Put them on every vehicle I've had.

Like McDavis said, take your time and make sure the string is tight. I always allow 3-4 hours to do a good job. I turn up the tunes - a little 70's rock and go at it.

If you want to measure your wheel I have 2 extras that wheelskin doesn't seem to want me to send back. We had some sizing issues and it took 3 tries. Their website standard size is 15 3/4 by 3 7/8. My wheel was thicker than 3 7/8.

I've installed 2 of these in the last 2 weeks and each time it's taken about an hour to 90 minutes. I don't suggest doing it in a lot of heat. The string will stick to everything because of the wax coating.

i'm sure the wheelskins are very nice, but I put one of these on my 2012 a couple years ago - still in great shape and feels great instead of that vinyl feel. no lacing, you just slip it over the wheel.

I put one on of these on my old cj7 too (now sold). also very nice - same concept you slip it over the wheel instead of lacing it on

My truck is just an XLT and has this steering wheel. It looks like it could be leather but it's laced, and certainly doesn't feel like it. I would have no problems installing a Wheelskins over this, would I?
