How to Find Your Steering Wheel Cover Size: A Fitment Guide

What Makes Our Racing Stripe Steering Wheel Covers Different and Better?

We believe aesthetics and feel play a large part in determining factors for most consumers when searching for a steering wheel cover as well as covering up flaky, deteriorated steering wheels that have been damaged by years of sun exposure.

We're fans of the Racing Stripes style steering wheels, but those high performance, sport steering wheels tend to cost upwards of $1,000 and getting them install to work with full functionality is another complicated issue. If you like the look of the racing stripe, we've created a cost conscious steering wheel cover that provides the same sporty/race aesthetic for a fraction of the cost of swapping for a new steering wheel in your car. The racing stripe is oriented at the top of the steering wheel to indicate when your wheels are pointed straight. These stripes also come handy when navigating turns on the track or tight spaces in a parking lot. Our steering wheel covers are more of a tailored fit as we provide them in multiple sizes, that way you can be sure your steering wheel cover doesn't come loose or stretch out. A snug fit is crucial to safety, feel free to reach out to us directly if you need help determining a size for your vehicle.

How to Select the Right Sized Steering Wheel Cover?

Steering Wheels come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Many automakers also offer flat bottom designs or wheel designs that are wider than they are tall - Oval shaped, so it is important to understand the shape factor in order to find a proper fitting steering wheel cover. Steering Wheel Covers are not "one size fits all". Our steering wheel covers are designed to fit Round shaped steering wheels only. We've designed our steering wheel covers in multiple sizes to better fit your steering wheel properly, ensuring snug fitment, safety, and feel.   

The Problem with those Universal, boring Steering Wheel Covers. 

One of the main frustrations with over the counter, generic steering wheel covers is fitment and quality. Generic steering wheel covers you see at retail auto stores are sometimes made to have a little play and stretchability in order to work within a range of sizes for a larger variety of vehicles. This can result in loose fitment issues which can be extremely dangerous when driving. Also, even if they do end up stretching to fit initially, they may eventually become loose. We’ve designed our steering wheel covers in sizing that is more precise to your exact year, make, & model. 

How to Correctly Measure my Steering Wheel to Find the Right Size.

We offer a fitment guide on our product pages, but if you’d like to measure yourself. Here is our advice to you to ensure sizing accuracy. Directions: With a measuring tape in hand, first gather the width measurement from side to side, be sure to measure from the outer edge of both left and right sides. Then it's time to measure the top side to bottom side, also be sure to start your measurement from the outside edge all the way down to the bottom edge. If your steering wheel is Round, both these numbers should be the same, and our Steering Wheel Covers will work for you. 

What Sizes do you Offer?

Based on our research during product development, we learned that most steering wheels are manufactured between 14.5 to 15.5 inches in size. We currently offer our covers 3 sizes: 14.5, 15, & 15.5 inch variations. Click here to see our current catalog of steering wheel covers.
