About 10 years ago, I reduced the diameter of my big Healey steering wheel from 17" down to 13".
After I built up the rim diameter/thickness to 1.25" using lacing cord and VERY firm foam rubber, I installed a dark brown, lace-on, one piece, leather cover from J C Whitney.
It looks very much like what is on the Wheel Skins web site.
Here is another view -
I used a two-cord baseball stitch on the ID of the wheel, not the overhand loop that most use on the cheep perforated plastic covers.
When the front wheels are straight ahead, the spoke is UP to allow better viewing of the Tach & Speedo. The cover joining stitching is at the bottom of the wheel.
If you want more details, contact me at timm@healey.org.
