Ok, I will bleach it, stain it silver birch and not lacquer it, if it doesn't look good I can then stain it a darker colour. I think I will have to get someone to polish the metal as I dont have the correct tools  |

Just trying to make the best of what I've got. I've had a momo top sport and I think a wood / lacquered finish is going to be better, as other wheels I've had end up with a funny feel. Instead of a lighter wood stain, what about a darker stain then?? |

| Too late now lol
I think everything black in the 33's is a bit overkill, so I'm trying to break it up a bit, what about the wood being bleached to a lighter silver birch colour? |

| Hi
Use VERY fine wet and dry, but as it is steel you will probably need a way to stop it tarnishing rapidly once polished. Wet and drive might be a good way to pass the time in a traffic jam. All the best Keith |

| I agree, kind of looks like rough ally ATM. I have been advised to use autosolve and wet and drive sand paper, think it might take a while |

|
| I saw a pic of my steering wheel with a polished alloy inner, I liked the look of it and thought I’d have a go.
I plan on stripping off the lacquer and bleaching the wood, then dying it a silver burch and then re-lacquering it. Before 
After 
Sanded down to give a matter look 
Think I should go all the way to shiny finish? |
