Should have posted this recommendation a few months back when I had the work done...

www.kochssteeringwheels.com/productcart/pc/mainIndex.asp

Lots of attention to detail
When the wheel arrived in their shop, I was called to go over the details of what I wanted done
Made additional suggestions that would improve my satisfaction with the end result -- re-chroming the 4 trim rings
To make sure that they got the color EXACTLY as I wanted it, they had me send a paint card sprayed with the color to be used on the car -- Lucerne Mist
Quick turn around... wheel was only in their shop 7 days, excluding the time it took me to send them a paint card.
Their product is not a "repair the cracks" process. They completely remove all old wheel material, stripping it down to the bare metal sub-frame. Using factory casts, they re-cast the steering wheel
End result is absolutely fantastic
Cost was $400, plus $40 for the trim rings to be re-chromed, plus shipping (roughly $28 each way).

Honestly, how can you beat that?

I've seen his work, top notch.

I'm the guy who loaned them a very nice steering wheel to use for the mold they use. I had heard they were looking for a nice 64-66 Cutlass Deluxe wheel to use for the mold. I called them and they said they had looked everywhere and @ a lot of wheels with no luck. I told them I had a nice one and would be glad to send it to see if it met their expectations. So I sent it out there and they were floored by how nice it was,so now you know the rest of the story.
