The palm swell on these are really nice. I took out my stock GT premium steering wheel to swap in a Boss suede, which really ups the grip factor. I just wish I could make it a bit thicker. I've actually been tempted to come up with some kind of project where I study the stitching method done on the wheel, carefully undo it, and see if I can add one wrap of some kind of soft sticky foam or rubber tape (like for tennis rackets or even bicycle handlebars, then very carefully try and stretch the suede back over it.
I doubt it would fit, so I'd probably really have to get knee deep into the project, making a template of the pieces of suede, buy more of it, enlarge the pieces ever so slightly, then teach myself how to suture it all back together. But I'd love to have it thicker just in certain parts. It probably wouldn't be noticeable unless it was pointed out. But I'm sure if someone grasped the wheel, they'd notice a difference.
Hmmm, maybe I should get on this. It would be a fun learning project. I imagine if I was extremely careful, I could keep the original pieces and re-attach them if it didn't end up working out well.
My only gripe is the branding. I hate visible branding. It's just my thing to avoid. But the design of that wheel is incredible.
