DIY Leather Wheelskin Install / Pics Inside - Toyota Yaris Forums

Really depends on driving style. Since i drive super aggresive i noticed i cant use the thumb grips by the spokes because the cover adds a little bit of bulk. If our factory wheel was a little thinner like some hondas then the cover would be perfect. So not sure about it so much now. Cosmetically i think a all plain charcoal cover would look perfect especially if you do a baseball stich will look oem. If you plan to do that make sure you request 2 threads when you order.

Did you need two threads to do yours?
I thought everything needed would already come with it.
Also, what size/diameter did you buy?
BTW

great job!

I just used one thread. I am not sure the diameter if you go to the website you put in your vehicle information and they will send you the exact size.

1)Do they provide instructions for this "baseball stitch"?

2)And did you use any adhesive or double-sided tape to hold the leather in place to get started?

3)Is you sedan dark charcoal grey like mine? Tough to tell in the photo's.
