I covered mine in black leather, machine stitching three strips that fit round the outside of the wheel.
The strips are wide enough that, when hemmed, they meet in the middle of the inside of the rim.
Before hemming they are punched with a series of holes along the hem fold line.
The hemmed edges are hand sewn together, preferably using a curved needle and upholsterer's waxed thread.
If I was at home, I would post a picture, but that won't be for a week or so.
Sounds more difficult to do than it actually is, and you have a nice "feel" to the steering wheel, and the leather soonÂ
looks like it had been on the car for ever.
