Autocraft customs is the place that refurbishes them. They do nice work.but a refurbed steering wheel is about 600$. And no Im not joking. I got a quote last year. I think they would do it for $400 but they were not going to touch up or match the center.cover to.the new.wheel.for that price.

A new wheel.from ford is probably 300+.

No cheap options.

That's why I always buy the cheap steering wheel covers from Walmart for 10$. They wear out in a year and I replace. Steering wheel stays new looking

I personally love the look and feel of the leather wraps. Every vehicle I have ever owned had them. And it also protects the steering wheel keeping it like new.

Well I'm debating what to do. I have other ways to spend 300-600 dollars! I drove a 2013 platinum today. Instead of replacing the wheel ill just replace the truck.!!!!
