Steering Wheel Reconditioning

[opeltwinturbo]

Who is "the wheel man" out there that reconditions GN/Reatta steering wheels? I have an 89 Reatta steering wheel that is in sad shape. Would like to have it rewrapped. Any help?

I'm pretty sure that CAR Motorsports out of Georgia is able to have that done, as well as others. www.carmotorsports.com

I have a Reatta wheel on my TType. I like them better than the stock GN wheel. If the one you have is not ripped, you could just paint it with SEM vinyl paint. Makes them look like new.

Thanks for the leads. My leather is so far gone, it is showing the rubber padding. Will contact cars tomorrow.

American-stitches.com in Dallas does very nice work. Cost is $240. If you are looking for a good used one, contact Mike at buickreattaparts.com or post an ad on the reatta forum which I frequent as well since I just got one 4 months ago. Here's the link:

There are a lot of helpful people on this forum and other good reatta info at reatta.net

Has anyone dealt with this guy on Ebay that restores GN steering wheels.$175 w/exchange I've been wondering how close to OEM his restored steering wheels look?
