Anyone revive your steering wheel?

My steering wheel is pretty hammered after 144k of driving.

I could find a new hoop and replace it or get a new wheel but I'm wondering if anyone has ever refurbed their wheel.

I mean with a nice alcantara leather wrap or something. Are there any places you can send your wheel to and have this done... etc.

I wouldn't mind having a little more girth to my wheel anyways.

I want my wheel to look like this...

Yeah but I just want to wrap my stock steering wheel with that kind of leather. So it's thicker and what not. The leather on my wheel is shot.
