I was wondering the same thing, which is why I asked, because you can buy that coating.

What I'd do:

Remove the old wheel. Take it to an auto parts store, find a new one you like, mount it to the hub assembly. The hub uses a stock GM steering wheel bolt pattern, so you should have a wide choice of wheels that'll fit it.

What would be the fun in that?  ;)

Heh, just pointing out that for the cost and effort of fixing the original wheel you could by 2 or 3 new ones just like it.

edit:  The picture didn't load for me the first time around, obviously Superior made the originals. ;)  Grant does make a similar wheel, a quick check of their website and I found this one:  http://www.grantproducts.com/grant.fm$retrieve?seqnum=123013&html=grantdetail It's a 8 1/2" wheel so it should be close to a prefect replacement.



Minwah:

Thanks guys...

The coating is some kind of rubber.  It looks at if the wheel was dipped into it when hot or something - I have no idea if this is how it was actually done.  How do you go about applying a rubber coating (as in 'to common household tools')?

I hadn't considered replacing the wheel, I really wanted to use the original.  The Grant one linked does look very similar however - I'll keep that in mind if I get stuck...
