Hi everyone,

Due to a zipper with a “burr”, my OEM steering wheel is pooched. I’m thinking of replacing it with aftermarket. Any suggestions?

Can someone point me to a good install steering wheel video/illustrations for the 15-17 Mustang with auto trans (removing of shifter paddles)?

There are plenty on YouTube. Here are a few.

Have you tried a good leather conditioner? Looks likes it’s just scratched. If it is actually cut, never mind.

Thanks for the suggestion! Great minds think alike!
As a matter of fact, I just “polished” the rough scratches away with a 3M 3000 grit polishing cloth until it was smooth to the touch. Then I applied some Kiwi brand (don’t know if you have it in USA) black shoe cream. Let it set up for 5 minutes, buffed. Layered a 2nd coat, and it’s virtually invisible. Smooth to the touch.

IMO the aftermarket wheels generally look tacky and like they belong in an arcade. Love my GT350 wheel but they've gotten considerably more expensive since I got it. (18+ wheels are different).

Edit: here it is a little cheaper: https://www.levittownfordparts.com/sku/jr3z-3600-ab.html

I paid under $300 IIRC.

Thanks for the reply.
You have a gorgeous wheel! I couldn’t agree more on the aftermarket wheels belonging on an arcade game - it’s exactly what my son said when we were searching online.
Anyway, I managed to fix it by polushing the area with a 3M cloth and hitting it with leather shoe cream. It’s 98% now - I can live with that.
Thanks again for your reply though 👍

I went with Beith after being extremely unhappy with the build quality and looks (especially the alcantara quality) of an eBay steering wheel that is very popular. It's not cheap, but it is worth it. You can customize it however you want, the build quality is factory or better, and his customer service is excellent. He even installed a new wiring harness and preinstalled the buttons for me and everything at no extra cost

I agree with the Beith Performance Wheel.
