new honda leather-wrap fit a 4th gen wheel? - Honda Prelude Forum

4thGenReady2Go · 07-02-2004, 09:49 AM

I want to put a leather wrap on my steering wheel, and there's a kit for sale at my pops' honda dealer, but the parts guy told me they don't have any more 4th gen ones in stock (big shocker), and he doesn't know/think the one he has will fit the prelude. Since you have to stitch it yourself, spokes on the wheel don't matter, so I guess I'm wondering, aren't all honda steering wheel diameters the same? i.e. won't this leather wrap fit my wheel?

lol, ok, no to fur, and ha ha Safaa, and leopard skin, absolutely not. Nope, Si wheels didn't come wrapped because there was no other leather in the car. I can get the OEM one for a good price, just need to know if the newer wheels are really any bigger than the 4th gen, thanks for the "suggestions", I suppose phamine was the only person to really offer anything constructive, lol.

bringing back from the dead

anyone have the steering wheel wrap? eh i'm sure they are all out of stock anyways but just wondering

pter · 10-24-2005, 05:55 PM

Are comparing 4th Gen to 5th Gen steering wheels? They aren't the same size. I believe the 4G is slightly smaller.

petern101 · 10-24-2005, 06:46 PM

ooops sorry i was just searching and failed to mention some things

does anyone really have the 4th gen leather wrap kit? i still see it for sale at some honda sites for like 5 bux, just wondering if it was worth the extra 5 bux since i have to order stuff from them anyways

I agree with Phamine- I did my wheel in black leather from wheelskins.com. They also have nice shift boots too. I tried a couple of other brands before, but I've had this one about 5 years and it is great.

Any aftermarket leather wraps won't extend out on the spokes a little- like the cars with factory leather wrapped wheels. When I stitched mine, I made sure it was really snug at the spoked areas so there are no gathered areas, and it looks really good. I have a blue wheel, but the blue color of the aftermarket wraps was a different shade of blue, so I went with the black since the console and dash trim is black also.

Just thought I'd mention about the colors in case you were in the same situation...
