I've heard good things about those that Geno's Garage sells, called Wheelskins IIRC.

I had my steering wheel replaced 3 times under warranty for this, they used a different material one one of them, still peeled. I said the heck with it and got a cover.

Ive done two of the leather wraps from Pepboys. One on my 04.5, and one on my 98. I HATE stitching them on, but once its done theyre nice!
I may try the one from Genos next...that my be a few years though as this one is holding up nice and did I mention I HATE stitching them on!! HAHA

I got the one from Genos and love it. Makes the wheel a little "thicker", which I like. Can't remember the price, but I know it wasn't that much. But it did take me a little over 45 min. to stich the thing on. Just turned the radio on while I did it.
