Nardi steering wheel

[chiefmg]

I bought an MP3 Nardi wheel from someone on this board. Haven't laid eyes on it myself yet, but my gf says it looks tan on the sides instead of silver. I saw a couple of threads about cracking/peeling leather but none about discoloration. Was this a problem with these wheels? Has anyone gotten one recovered? I have seen Wheelskins listed on eBay, but not sure if they would cover the spokes and it would look dumb have a partially new wheel. I appreciate any info anyone can provide.

they do wear, specially the ones off of the MP3. The ones on the MSP are not nardi, at least they dont carry the nardi brand logo on it. I personally have one out of a MP3 and yes the silver will wear off it in the most commonly used spots and it will be kind of a tan color underneath. As far as recovering goes i have no idea, but i have seen a silver interior dye used on even black p5 wheels that looks good.

the only ones that are nardi to my knowledge are the MP3 with the actual Nardi logo on the bottom. The protege/miata wheels have no branding or logos. I am pretty sure that they are man. by mazda as replicas. Even the frames are different.
