Steering wheel reupholstered in alcantara?

Any suggestions on someone that can take a factory heated steering wheel and cover it in alcantara?

I replaced mine with an M Performance wheel, and I love it. But, having a heated version might be even nicer.

I also had a heated steering wheel rewrapped in Alcantara for the same reason. I would recommend Coby Wheel as well. Here is my post on the retrofit.

About a week to get the wheel rewrapped. Weather delays on return shipping meant Fedex took over 10 days to get it back across the country.

I had a heated wheel I sourced and shipped out to Coby Wheel. He also does core exchanges if you are trying to get the same type of wheel reupholstered but this depends on what he has in stock. This way you can get the new wheel, swap it out, then send your old one back to him.
