MJ Interiors will do them. I had an old MOMO wheel re-covered a few years back. Top top quality job.

worn parts like these indicate high milage, ur signature shows 74k, mines done 72k and my knob(ahem) and wheel are all still fine. Sure the milage is genuine?

Depends on usage. Motorway miles are less stressful.. and really, you dont steer much! In town driving you are pulling and tugging on the wheel and changing gear alot more often so it will wear more.
