I've been looking at a better wheel for the 944. My choice was a momo quark but with boss its over£150
So, I thought I'd try a leather stitch on cover and restoring the original wheel. Its come out with a really nice padded "feel". I put neoprene a 10 and 2 for extra padding and shape. It doesn't come out well in a photo but any way , total cost of about £15 and feels great :)

The origanal wheel spruces up suprisingly nicely. The padded leather cover gives a nice "feel". Did the gear gaitor at the same time :)
