Hi everyone,

I'd like to keep this as far away from being an advertisement as possible, so please don't ask for pricing, colors, payment, etc. I'd just like to take this opportunity to say hi, since we've joined this forum as a vendor. Many of you know us (we've been around for over 10 years, we have over 35 000 customers in the US alone!) from other forums, and we've now joined this one as well!

We've been actively building our leather steering wheel covers portfolio and we are looking for people interested in having their wheel wraps made for free in exchange for loaning us their wheel to work on.

Here's some samples of the magic we can pull off. If anybody's interested please reply here or email us.






I hope to hear more from you guys soon, as we start up our vendor ad (as soon as the moderator fixes our privileges, already paid!) and show off our 30/40/50 boots. Here's a teaser!



Have a great day,
Maciek

Black perf. Shift boot with red stitching is NICE! With a matching wrap on the wheel...exactly what I want! Nice work..

[Dan A]

I have a 99 V70R wheel that needs to be re-wrapped. Very interested in doing this.

[trs80]

I have two for the 93-97 850's. One standard and one for a 850R.

[JVC]

I have a 99 s80 wheel and shift boot and ebrake boot. I'd let em go cheap as a package. Let me know!

[burnout8488]

I have a non-leather 98-00 S70 wheel, would this qualify to be wrapped or does it need to be leather in the first place? Perhaps it would make for a slightly thicker grip?
Ready to go ASAP

I have one, pm sent.

[T5power]

you should also consider having an option to add the thumb grips like the 2000 V70R's and the 04+S60R and V70R's did on non R steering wheels. that would be pretty cool, too.

I have a 960 wood wheel that could use a wrap. Do you think that's something you can do? Has inserts on the top and bottom that are wood.

[BtownVolvo]

Wow! All looks great! Would love to see what you can do with our steering wheels. And +1 to adding the VR thumb bolsters or even making the wheel thicker. That's the 1 thing I miss from my old S40.

Same here. I can send my wheel out asap if you need one

[RedlineGoods]

Hi guys,

first and foremost, WOW, I'm thrilled by all the feedback I got and all of you wanting to help us develop wheels for your cars! It appears I have completely underestimated the strength of the Volvo community these past years (else I would have been around much, much earlier!)

To all those who replied to me via PM, I will reply back today, I just needed to share some generic information that everybody could use, about the process we employ for developing wheels.

Our production facility is located in Europe (Poland, exactly). Which means that sending us your wheel is mostly feasible if you store the car for the winter, have another one to use in the meantime or are looking at some maintenance downtime and could use it to kill two birds with one stone. Overall the process takes 4-5 weeks, mostly due to shipping (our local turnaround is within a week).

I'm pretty sure that will be a showstopper to some of you who replied via PM, those of you who don't mind the downtime please reply to me after I reply to you (today). When you do, please send me a picture of your wheel. We might be able to get one just like it locally, buy it and develop a wrap this way. If that is the case, you don't need to send us your wheel at all. You just need to pay for the wrap ($129), installation of one if you choose it ($100) and/or any options you choose (I will provide pricing on these when available, these include thumb grips and thickening the wheel also), and pay for the wheel we get locally (whatever we pay, usually $40-$80 depending on the wheel).

When we receive pictures of it installed, we will reimburse you for the wrap ($129) and you can also send us your wheel then to use as a core to be reimbursed the price we paid for the wheel.

So that is how the process works. You can of course choose to install these as a DIY project. There's a bunch of links we can help you with to those interested (it is kind of tedious but not technically hard at all):

http://www.redlinego...heelinstall.php

and our YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.c.../RedlineGoodsTV has some great videos showing each step of the way.



I'm going to reply to all the PMs now! Talk to y'all soon!

We are working on it right now in fact, on another wheel. We expect to be able to not only thicken the wheels, but also provide the thumb grips.

Please PM/email me a picture I need to see how the wood comes together with leather!

Well that was unexpected....

Any chance on me mailing you a V70 wheel, and then you mail it back wrapped?

[RedlineGoods]

Hi,

do you meant to develop a new wrap or after we have it made? We are working on offering installation services within the US but that is still on the way, not quite finalized yet...

But it really is simple, albeit needs care and attention to detail.

Have a great day,
Maciek

I'm interested in wrapping my S60 R wheel with Dark blue leather and blue stitching. Thickening it slightly would be very nice. I have a spare wheel that I can send you. And that would make it simple to install.

[Dan A]

No PM received yet. What I'm hearing you say is essentially your offer is for a free wrap but we are paying $100 for the install, right? If you can buy them locally to develop the wrap, then why are you making the offer?

PM'ed you with pics of the 960/S90 wheel. Do let me know! I have another wheel to use while it gets wrapped, so I wouldn't mind the time.
