This is not a probability of success.

I ended up buying a used leather wheel and replaced the whole thing.

I don�t believe so. I had one and reached out to a steering wheel refinished. Said it couldn�t be done. I ended up buying a used leather wheel and replaced the whole thing.
There are burlwood vinyl options out there. 5 years ago I'd say they probably look like crap but I've seen some pretty amazing vinyls lately. Might be worth a shot if you can get samples from manufacturer to quality check.
I have tried a few vinyl ones but they don’t have the light color. I am going to try hydradip next...like whatbthey do to football helmets to make them look like carbon.
But i I am still hunting for real pieces, nothing beats the real thing.
thanks.
Don't have any good pics. But I can see the top is cracked.
I'm trying to get a better wheel in my car, the four spoke is too thin.
I put a GTI wheel in my Golf TDi and it's a night and day difference
Are you hoping to match wood trim that is already on your car or are you trying to restore a cheap wheel you bought? I was assuming you were trying to match trim which is why I gave you the answer I did. I should know better than to make assumptions..
Lol...that chicane wood is good..
my car car comes with lots of Burl wood. It looks good, as it breaks up the single tone of the interior, but some of it has to be replaced.
