Steering Wheel Recovery Service - Updated (Page 1/10)
Irrationable DEC 07, 12:21 PM
I’ve decided to take a clean-slate approach and create a new sale thread as I return from hiatus and start recovering steering wheels again. For those unfamiliar with my work, my original sale thread can be found HERE, along with some pictures of past projects found below this post. For the time being, I will be recovering wheels for the months of December 2016 and January 2017 while I have a break from my grad school program. Following this time period, I can’t say with 100% certainty that I will continue recovering wheels, although I would like to if my school schedule permits.


Below you can find a full list of my 2022 materials and options list, taken directly from my order form. To request a copy of this form, message me with your preferred email address and I am happy to provide one for you along with instructions on placing an order.

Instructions for Customers Placing an Order:

Please take care when packaging your wheel or core exchanges prior to shipping. I have had several customers end up with broken trim rings on GT/Indy wheels due to improper packaging. These trim rings are often brittle, and are difficult to obtain without having to purchase another wheel to transfer them from or purchasing reproduction rings from me. I always recommend getting insurance when shipping a wheel.

When returning your wheel to you, I will reuse whatever packaging you used to send the wheel to me initially (thus, return shipping will be identical to what you paid to ship the wheel to me, plus the cost of insurance for the return trip, when applicable).

If you opt to do a core exchange rather than sending your own wheel in for recovery, a $75 core fee will be added to your order. This core fee will be returned in full once I receive an acceptable wheel core from you. “Acceptable” cores should be unbent and free of rust (unless you are opting for the spoke/hub refurbishing option). Prior to sending your core, please remove the plastic trim and splined hub, as you will be reusing these. Instructions for removing these are available upon request.

If someone wanted to supply their own leather how much leather would you need. I only ask because I could see those with MrMikes seats or other upholstery items wanting all their interior leather to match,

That's something I mentioned as well. I've had many of my customers opt to go that route, to the point where Mike sends me customers from time to time when they ask him about getting a wheel done. The quantity of leather needed really depends on the style of wheel they are getting recovered. The GT / Indy wheel requires a 17x4 in piece for the upper section and a 30x9 in piece for the lower section of the wheel. An auto wheel requires a 17x4 in piece, a 14x4 in piece, and two 10x8 in pieces.
