No idea what it costs but I doubt there's much in it selling your wheel on ebay and buying another factory flocked. OMP wheels are pretty cheap,
I partucularly like the flock WRC one

As above they are suede or alcantara, either way they look carp within a couple of weeks due to the grease/oils on your hands. They are designed to be used with gloves.

Do you know what flocking is/entails? A flocked wheel rim would make your hands perspire and be both uncomfortable and dangerous.

Ive limited myself to the dashboard and the centre console. The centre console wasnt really necessary but Ive included it to perk the interior up, as the rest will be bare paint and alloy sheet.
