Re-Wrapped wheel installed ..

Did you ever get the new leather match the rest of the interior?
My wheel has been redone by Mansory Germany and my new leather is just like yours in those pics above, visibly lighter than the airbag cover.
It annoys me.

Leather gets darker over time, my wife thinks I'm crazy as she
says the match is close enough. You could use some oil on it, it would darken it up, I haven't tried this yet. Need to research and choose the right oil, saddle oil or something similar. If you go this route let me know how it works out.

Looks good. I re-dyed my steering wheel this past weekend using leatherique. I have graphite grey and the 9:00 position was getting spotty. After some trial and error it turned out almost perfect. Cost me about $50.

JSBear - My interior is almost the same as yours. I have a cracked wood/brown leather wheel and need to replace it. I like the option you created, but am concerned about the color not matching. I know if it's not a perfect match to the airbag it will bother me every day. Would you do it again?

I would do it again .. Like the new wheel better than
the stock wheel. They added some more padding, so it's thicker. The leather seems to be getting darker with use, leather conditioner may have darkened it up a shade or two also.
There is no doubt I wish the match was perfect from the get go, but the leather in my car was 9 years old when I added the wheel, and leather does change color with age, sun exposure etc. darkens it up.
I don't notice it as much anymore. I will take a look at it in the morning and report back
