Hi all , after an original EK steering wheel in ok condition, cracks around the wheel would be ok as it will be restored anyway but would like something that is crack free around the boss if possible .

Cheers col

Hi Blacky
I've found one local that has been restored for $420 .. I have no idea what it cost to get them restored but I would think it wouldn't be cheap so it's probably a reasonable price ?

Pretty simple to restore really, as long as it isn’t too bad. They will always crack again eventually. I just opened up the cracks a bit, used some fine finish filler, sanded and keyed the existing finish, Protec 458 primer surfacer aerosol, light rub and finish with a few coats of jet black 2k urethane. Two hours work total. Four years and 10,000 miles later there are hairline cracks where the spokes meet the rim.

The ome I have is ok but has a bit of damage around the boss that I'm not sure of. Should probably check with billet works and see how much they actually machine around the boss area
