Anyone bored enough to measure the RIM/GRIP thickness ( or circumference ) of their stock leather GVR4 steering wheel? Here is a link, use the grip circumference part: click
I am gonna order one of those Wheelskins products but want to be sure of the thickness before ordering ( still in Japan ). No worries if the leather is cracked or not.
Thanks for any help folks!

make sure you get the 2tone
I think the solid color looks generic, might be ok in black or grey but the solid color ones on the site i didnt like.
I might get a euro perf. good find

I went out and took three measurements around the wheel with the dial caliper.

1.100" - 1.142"

I'll just take the middle ground and say 1.125" x pi = 3.534" circumference. This is right in the middle of two of the options from the website you posted. Haha

LOL thanks guys!
I will definitely be using a 2 tone ( White and Black ) and likely will go with the AXX unless they suggest otherwise. Hate to have the cover slip on me....
Found some on Egay for about $40 shipped, will ask about sizing first.
Appreciate the help!
