Default Steering wheel cover?

I know I know, I'm just being silly. Shouldn't need to ask about this... but I am.

I went to big lots for some ammerol for my dash, and they has $5 steering wheel covers, so I grabbed one. When it was half way on, it seemed kinda nice. When it was all the way on, it had a 2 inch tear in it 'cause it was (obviously) too small. Or I'm too strong.. who knows.

So I was wondering, will the universal steering wheel covers not fit my '06 F150? Or does anyone have a recommendation for a black stitch-on one? Or any black one?

I actually wound up on their site after posting. I think I'll get one of those. They look nice.

Hmm that looks nice. I wonder why mine didn't fit. It just ripped apart.

Now that I've been looking at the wheelskins though, I really want one of those.

I got one from target. It's a pretty nice perforated one, fit was snug but it went on. Had some pretty cramped up hands afterwards

Choices choices choices. I guess I'll keep my eye out, and wind up buying a wheelskin in a week.
