    Looks quite nice. I only wish it covered the spokes like the factory stuff.

    Thanks for posting the pics again.

    Yeah, but really it doesn't look bad. I thought about trimming the thick part of the spokes off but I recall finding an image (I can't find now) where someone did it and it looked like shit. Just tighten the strings tight around the spokes and over a few weeks, the leather will sorta mold/meld on the spokes. It won't be perfect, but trust me, your hands will really appreciate the wheel cover. I used to hate driving the 4runner so much b/c of that hole at 12. Take my advice and fill the hole before applying the cover

    What should I fill the hole with? Epoxy? Or one of them expensive leather fillers?

    Im not sure since i haven't done the research, but like i mentioned, i would cut away as much of the old leather as possible and then glue down the leather. apply whatever leather filler, let dry, and sand down.

    Might be easier just to use jb weld. its a spot at 12 o'clock thats 1/4" wide x 2" long.

    I requested some swatches so hoping the oak color matches pretty good. I think my downfall was cleaning the wheel a few times with simple green cause it was all nasty. I think it dried out the leather too much and that was it.
