I wish that were true, the reality is more like I'm on a budget!
Update on the wheel - it's been about 6-7k miles (not sure how many rubs that is) since I've first laid hands on it, and it's starting to show a little wear around the 10 o'clock hand rest. It looks a bit matted and is slightly glossy in the light. I should mention that I make no attempts to keep it in good shape (french fries while driving) and I haven't tried to clean/restore it at all. The rest of the wheel is looking pretty good still. Despite what she says, my wife chipped the vinyl on the bottom trim piece, so I have to re-wrap that again too.
In the fall I'm going to try another wrap. I think this time around I'm going to use the sewing machine just for making even holes in the fabric, and then I'm going to thread by hand. That way I can use some super thick stuff that I can really yank on and make tight.
