Anybody care to recommend a steering wheel cover? (Or whole new steering wheel?)

[redgtxdi]

So, I actually like the steering wheel in my Prizm(Corolla) better than the one in the Camry (it's a little beefier), but nevertheless, I like a naked steering wheel above *any* steering wheel that's covered.

But, sadly, my '98 steering wheel is starting to flake away at the 12 o'clock position.

I even thought about looking for a matching ES300 wheel with the wood trim which would probably keep that from happening again, but I also know that the cheapest thing would probably be a $10 wheel cover from Wally World or Auto Zone or wherever.

Anybody got a steering wheel cover (or whole wheel) that they're happy with? (I just really don't want something that'll make the wheel HUGE)

TIA

I like the black "ribbed" one I got at Autozone. I can palm the wheel now, before my hand slipped off the wheel. I dont like my stock 2001 steering wheel is plastic. Is yours leather wrapped?

I made a steering wheel thread a few weeks ago. Apparently you can use the wheel from Gen 5's. They're made of leather and won't flake like the Gen 4's.

i bought one of the blue R racing one's from oreilly's or auto zone, had it on for almost a year and i love it. i can now palm it where the rubber is because it has great grip. i like it.

if i went the the junk yard and got an es300 steering wheel, it should bolt right up and have the same airbag hookups right?

My friend has a '97 ES300 and his wheel looks exactly like a Gen4 wheel so presumably it should, only problem is it has a Lexus logo and may not match your interior trim colour

I got a black/blue cover from Walmart for about $10, and it fits my GEN4 nicely. Mine stock wheel, like many others, was getting pretty ugly (1997). It was kind of tight getting it on, and at one point it made me think it wasn't the right size, but I just kept working it on, and finally it went on nice and tight.
