The steering wheel braid is an accessory that has not only an aesthetic function in the car interior (although this is also important, because style emphasizes individuality). Don't know how to determine sizes? The surest way is to measure the diameter of the steering wheel or find this parameter in the operating instructions for the car of the desired model. Each brand has a corresponding size – S, M, L, XL.
For cars such as Tavria, Oka, cars with a sports steering wheel, size S is suitable - the smallest. Diameter – 35-37 cm.
The most common size is M. Nowadays, most cars have a standard steering wheel with a diameter of 37-39 cm.
These are almost any foreign passenger cars, as well as Lada Kalina, Lada Priora, Lada Granta, etc.
If the braid is chosen for a VAZ 2101-2107, 21011, 21013, Niva, Volga or Moskvich, then the car has a steering wheel diameter of 39-40 cm, which corresponds to L.
XL – GAZELLE, UAZ, etc. (42-43 cm).
PS: I bought it in China, since I sewed it myself, it took me about 3 hours, but I’m very pleased with the result!
| The leather steering wheel on Kalina is not only practical and convenient, but also beautiful. This steering wheel adds style to the interior of the car and does not allow your hands to slip. This kind of tuning can be done with your own hands, but do you know how to install leather braiding on the Kalina 2 steering wheel? |
Anyone who decides to cover the steering wheel of Kalina 2 with leather for the first time is recommended to use a ready-made kit (price about 1,500 rubles), which is called “Leather braiding for the steering wheel of Lada Kalina 2.” It contains everything you need to re-tighten the steering wheel yourself as simply as possible (leather braid, thread, needle and instructions).
This way, you don't need to remove the template and make patterns. The braid already has holes for the threads, so all you need to do is put the braid on the handlebars and lace it with thread. All details are described in this manual:
Lacing the braid onto the handlebars is a painstaking job that will require time, patience and care. The entire process of covering the steering wheel with leather will take you about 4 hours. At first, the leather on the steering wheel may turn, but after it dries and shrinks, it will no longer be possible to turn it on the steering wheel. This completes the tuning of the steering wheel of the new Kalina!

Do you need a steering wheel braid?
The first and most frequently asked question is: “Why do you need a braid on the steering wheel, if at all?”
It’s good for owners of expensive cars with leather interior trim, where everything is harmonious, the overall style is consistent, and the leather steering wheel, pleasant to the touch, goes well with the car’s interior. But what should owners of the budget segment do, where everything in the car’s interior is so minimalist that there’s nowhere for the eye to fall? A steering wheel braid is also needed if you buy a used car, if the steering wheel is well-worn, with numerous scratches and abrasions.
The steering wheel braid also serves as a kind of cover, and like covers on mobile phones, it allows you to preserve the presentation of the steering wheel in case of selling the car.
The braid on the steering wheel prevents your hand from slipping and turning the steering wheel, which makes driving safer. It increases the thickness of the steering wheel, making the steering wheel more comfortable for drivers with a wider hand.
Which steering wheel braid should I choose?
But let's start choosing the braid for the steering wheel. We will select it according to parameters.
Material. Today on the market you can find steering wheel braids made of various materials. Most often, girls buy “fun” soft steering wheel covers made of velor, fabric, suede, plush, foam rubber, while men prefer classic options made of genuine leather or leatherette. The most durable and advantageous option is the one made of genuine leather, but such popular cases made of foam rubber very quickly become crushed and lose their shape.
Color and design. You should not buy a steering wheel cover that does not match the color scheme of your car's interior. So, if your interior is black, it is better to take the same dark steering wheel cover and leave beige models to the corresponding cars. Of course, everyone chooses a cover in accordance with their taste preferences, but sometimes this choice looks simply monstrous, especially if a colorful velor cover with butterflies is placed in an incredibly stylish and beautiful car.
Fixation method. There are two main types of steering wheel braids: covers that do not require covering, and the steering wheel braids themselves, which are fixed to it using special threads. Each variety has its own pros and cons. Fixed covers are quite easy to put on, however, during use, such covers can twist and slide if the cover does not fit tightly enough. The steering wheel braids can be completely integrated into the interior, so that an uninformed person will not even know that it is not native to this car, however, there are difficulties in covering the steering wheel with such a braid. You need to have a certain skill, free time and patience to cover the steering wheel yourself. You will learn how this is done further down in this article.
How to choose a steering wheel
The controllability of road transport depends on many factors. The main ones are usually the condition and quality of the tires, the serviceability of the steering system, and the complete set of the chassis. Driver skills also play an important role. Experienced drivers know that even accessories and what can be classified as them can affect handling. For example, the steering wheel.
In theory, you can fix a gas key at the place where the steering wheel is mounted - you can also drive the car by manipulating it. However, this option does not promise either safety or comfort. The standard steering wheels of many cars are minimally comfortable, in contrast to the advanced models that can be found in specialized stores. They have many additional features, a nice design and provide an easy and secure grip.
Avto.pro will help you understand the methodology for choosing a steering wheel.
Tuning or mandatory update?
Let us immediately note that it is strictly necessary to buy a new steering wheel only in cases where the old one seems too uncomfortable to you and does not provide clear feedback. The “steering wheel” of the car also does not have to be too large - it should not constantly rest against the driver’s knees (or require maximum reach if there is an adjustment mechanism). If you have not encountered all of the problems listed above, then replacing the steering wheel should be postponed. And if you just want to freshen up your car's interior and don't feel
problems with the budget, we advise you to continue studying this material.
Before you start selecting a steering wheel, it is worth understanding its main characteristics. It is worth paying attention to:
- Size (diameter);
- Type of fastener;
- Shape;
- Distance from the rim to the central fastening element;
- Material;
- Additional functions.
Particular attention should be paid to the latter. Steering wheels with additional functions are usually called multi-steering wheels
. They have a whole set of buttons that allow you to control various automotive mechanisms and devices, such as a radio, mobile communications, etc. There are even steering wheels with a touch control system. We will tell you about all this in more detail.
What you need to know about steering wheel size
The size, also known as the diameter of the steering wheel, directly affects the comfort of steering. The smaller the diameter of the wheel, the more effort must be applied to it when driving a car. This is a particularly relevant parameter for vehicles without power steering. We do not recommend choosing a handlebar that is too large - it may impair visibility or rest on the driver's knees. There are many sizes of handlebars and they are usually classified into separate categories based on the standard sizes of the braids:
- S.
_ The diameter is 31-37 cm. These are the dimensions of many sports steering wheels; - M.
_ Diameter 37-38 cm. Standard steering wheel size for a passenger car; - L.
_ Diameter 38-42 cm. Non-standard size for serial passenger vehicles; - XL
. Diameter 42-43 cm. Quite a standard size of the steering wheel of many crossovers and SUVs; - XXL
and
XXXL
. Diameter 47 and 49 cm respectively. Option for trucks.
Let us immediately note that this is only one of the categories accepted by sellers and car enthusiasts, but, as indicated, there are many sizes - you should focus on the diameter. For example, you can find sports models with a diameter of 28 cm, and this does not even fit into the S
.
As practice shows, both S
and
M
steering wheels are well suited for a passenger car. One more point: if the car has a hydraulic booster, then the conditionally maximum diameter of the steering wheel can be considered 32-33 cm - taxiing will not take much effort and at the same time the “steering wheel” itself will have modest dimensions.
More information about the shape of the steering wheel
A separate parameter of the steering wheel, which is still related to its size, is its shape. Surely you have at least once seen the steering wheel of a sports car in a photograph or in real life - it is either round or cut off. The classic shape is a circle, but the following wheels are also distinguished:
- Round with a flattened lower part, and less often also with an upper part;
- With top cut.
We recommend giving preference to the classic round steering wheel - all car enthusiasts are accustomed to it and it will not require adaptation. A cut steering wheel requires the abandonment of some steering techniques. A compromise solution is a flattened wheel, i.e. flat lower, sometimes lower and upper sectors. Otherwise called D-shaped
. This model will not rest on your knees and limit visibility even if its diameter is close to L or XL.
Other steering wheel parameters
If you have decided on the shape and diameter of the steering wheel, it's time to consider such an indicator as the distance from the rim to the central fastener. That it is called overhang, although such a name cannot be called suitable for this parameter. In English this distance is called Dish
. This image will help you understand what we are talking about:
As you might guess, too much distance does not play into the driver’s favor - it is more difficult to reach the paddles mounted on the steering column. Ideally, the paddles should be located directly behind the steering wheel so that the driver does not have to stretch his palm with his fingers open. The problem of the petals being too close can be solved by installing spacers and special adapters. The minimum length for most handlebars produced is 3.7 cm, but many of these models are not very impressive in design. Compromise option
: 5.08 cm.
One of the important parameters is the number of spokes. You can find 2, 3 and 4 spoke steering wheels on the market. Classic option: 3-spoke steering wheel. The number of spokes does not greatly affect handling (although this depends on your technique) and rather affects the aesthetics of the product. If you intercept the steering wheel spokes while taxiing, then pay attention to their shape, location and thickness.
Most handlebar mounts are compatible with 6x70mm
. Due to this, a new steering wheel can be installed instead of the standard one and even spacers can be installed without modifications. Some steering wheels are mounted to the steering column solely using an adapter, since they do not have holes for bolts. In most cases these are sports models.
If you are interested in a steering wheel with an airbag
), then, of course, choose a model that provides for the installation and connection of this device. Typically, steering wheels are sold without a built-in airbag, so you will have to purchase it separately. This guide will help you understand the features of choosing an airbag. Looking ahead, we will say that an airbag is an important element of active protection for the driver and passengers. Although this protection can indeed cause harm to a person, it is not comparable with the real benefit.
More about materials
When choosing a new steering wheel, pay close attention to the material from which the lining or the entire rim is made. Each material has its own advantages and disadvantages. The following characteristics are conventionally distinguished
: strength, resistance to ultraviolet radiation, chemically aggressive compounds and high temperatures, tendency to slip. Here are the most common materials:
- Automotive leather. An expensive and prestigious material that has only one significant drawback: a tendency to crack. Thin leather also wears out quickly;
- Alcantara. Good material, almost as good as leather. It has a higher resistance to abrasion and fading in the sun. According to many car enthusiasts, Alcantara gives a strange tactile sensation;
- Leatherette. Cheaper than regular automotive leather and somewhat less prone to slipping. This problem has been solved in steering wheel models with perforated leatherette inserts;
- Plastic, rubber. The cheapest materials, which are suitable only for ordinary steering wheels, but not for sports ones - they get hot, and plastic also becomes slippery;
- Varnished wood. An interesting material that will add elegance to almost any car. Unfortunately, varnished wood slips a lot;
- Combined materials. The set of materials depends on the manufacturer and model of the steering wheel. This option has proven itself well.
If your budget is not limited, we recommend taking a steering wheel covered in genuine automotive leather. Leatherette is also a good option, but we do not recommend choosing the cheapest one - it will be seriously inferior to natural materials. If a thin layer of leatherette was used for covering, the steering wheel will begin to wear out quickly. We strongly do not recommend choosing sports models coated with plastic or rubber.
Steering wheel braid - dimensions
Deciding on the size of the steering wheel cover is quite simple if you are purchasing it for yourself and not taking it as a gift. To do this, you just need to measure the diameter of your steering wheel and select the size of the cover according to it.
How to choose the steering wheel braid size?
But what if you are purchasing the case as a gift? Today on sale you can find covers of various sizes: S (35-37 cm), M (37-38 cm), L (39-40 cm), XL (42-43 cm), XXL (47 cm), XXXL (49 cm).
Size S (35-37 cm). This size is perfect for small cars: Oka, Tavria or for cars with a sports steering wheel. This size will also fit the Kia Picanto; it has a steering wheel diameter of 37 centimeters (the cover will fit with difficulty, but will fit clearly).
Size M (37-38 cm) . The most common size that fits most foreign-made passenger cars. Size M can be confidently called standard, it is suitable for cars: Kia (Rio, Venga, Ceed, Soul, Sorento, Optima, Sportage, etc.), Nissan (Murano, Almera, Terrano, Sentra, Juke, Teana, etc.), Ford (Focus, Mondeo, Kuga, Ranger, etc.), Toyota (Corolla, Auris), Volvo (V40, S60, S80, etc.), Chevrolet (Cruze, Aveo, Spark, etc.), VAZ (2108-2109, 21010 - 2115, Granta, Kalina, Priora), and many, many other foreign cars. In general, you understand, if you have a foreign passenger car or a domestic car from the list above, then you can take size M with 95% confidence.
Size L (39-40 cm). NIVA, VOLGA, MOSKVICH, VAZ-2101, 2107, 21011, 21013.
Size XL (42-43 cm). UAZ, GAZelle, etc.
Size XXL(47 cm). Imported trucks.
Size XXXL(49 cm). KAMAZ.
Standard steering wheel - size, article number and price
First, it’s worth making a reservation that not everyone likes to install new-style components in the pre-restyling Priora. It would be fair to mention the pre-restyling steering wheel. Its article number is 11190-3402012-00.
It is not sold in all stores, “showdowns” or secondhand, but you will have to hunt for a new option. Its cost without an airbag is about 2,000 rubles. With it, the price can increase from one thousand rubles.
The steering wheel on the restyled Priora received article number 2170-3402018-00, its cost starts from 3,800 rubles. Please note that this is an option with a plug that is installed instead of an airbag, not from the “luxury” configuration - with a silver insert. A similar “luxury” steering wheel comes with article number 21700-3402018-20, it costs 400 - 1500 rubles more. The price for a steering wheel with an airbag starts from 7,500 rubles, from official dealers – 12,000 rubles.
Full size: The steering wheel diameter on the Lada Priora is 410 mm. Don't be surprised when you see that it fits Kalina too - the cars are equipped with the same steering wheels.
How to trim a steering wheel correctly?
It's time to move directly to covering our steering wheel with the purchased braid, or to putting on a cover. As mentioned above, this activity is not as simple as it might seem at first glance. To simplify the whole process, I have prepared special photo instructions.
How to put the cover on the steering wheel?
The cover is pulled over the steering wheel from top to bottom. It is better when two people participate in this process: one fixes the cover at one point, preventing it from slipping and warping, and the second carefully tightens it. Sometimes the cover is put on quite tightly, and it is impossible to do without male strength.
How to cover a steering wheel with braid?
The process of tightening the cover may seem like a small thing to you compared to the complexity of covering the steering wheel with a thread and a needle. There are many methods, each of which depends on the individual characteristics of a particular braid model. I will suggest one method.
First, we put our cover on the steering wheel. In the case itself, holes for threads are already made in advance, because... the leather is quite thick, and it will be very difficult to pierce it on the steering wheel (all the work will “go away” and don’t expect a good effect.). In one place our thread with a knot is pierced, and the process of covering the steering wheel has begun.
This cladding method is the simplest, fastest and does not require special skills.
How to remove the steering wheel on a Priora
When you are going to start such an operation with your car, make sure that it is firmly in place and will not roll away; to remove the steering wheel on a Priora, you need to calculate the force so as not to knock off the threads of the fasteners, and not to deploy the airbag, trying to do everything quickly.
To remove the steering wheel on a Priora you need to find:
- Flat screwdriver;
- Head number 24;
- Hex key number 5.
According to the instructions with additions from experienced drivers, we perform the following actions:
- Using a hexagon, unscrew the two bolts securing the airbag in the steering wheel (do not remove them);
- The cushion (insert in the steering wheel) will move slightly away from the steering wheel. Do not make sudden movements and do not try to remove it faster! Turn it smoothly and slowly so that the wiring is visible to you and you can work with it;
- Use a flat screwdriver to pry off the light green clamp of the wire block and pull the connector out of the fastening groove;
- Remove the pillow and set it aside;
- Remove the horn wire connector and disconnect it using a screwdriver;
- Using a wrench and a socket number 24, turn it smoothly counterclockwise several times and loosen the nut in the center - this is the steering shaft mount. Use your hands to knock down the steering wheel itself, simultaneously turning and releasing the nut;
- Remove the steering wheel. It is advisable to make a notch with a marker indicating the position of the steering wheel relative to the shaft.

Why do you need a steering wheel braid?
Steering wheel braid is one of the most popular and very common accessories for a car. There are many reasons for using this accessory:
- Preserving the appearance of the car interior, because the steering wheel is one of the most noticeable elements in the car interior.
- The desire to bring aesthetics and update the appearance of the “blurry-eyed” salon. This is especially true in cars where manufacturers have skimped on refinements in interior design.
- The desire to make driving more comfortable. In the warm season, even palms covered with sweat will not slip on it, which allows you to strengthen your grip and feel more confident on the road. In addition, the increased diameter due to the braid or cover also has an unobvious practical significance: a steering wheel with a small diameter that is too thin, especially when cornering, can slip in your hands. The thick steering wheel, on the contrary, has a hard and dense surface that is more pleasant to hold in your hands.
- Practical use. The steering wheel braid plays the role of a kind of cover. Which protects the steering wheel from the effects of sunlight, excessively dry air and temperature changes. In used cars, it also hides defects in the steering wheel that have appeared over time.
Priora 1
The four-spoke steering wheel on the Priora with an outdated design, which it inherited from the “tenth” family, still serves drivers faithfully - as practice shows, even after 10 years it will wear out externally (but not much), but scratches will not be noticeable. During restyling, they decided to replace the old-style steering wheel with a new one, which is now installed in all flagship Lada models. The horn buttons are located under the driver's thumbs, which is not always convenient - for example, when going through a turn, you have to literally look for them, because the driver does not always hold the steering wheel as taught in driving school.
Types of braids on the steering wheel.
Covers do not require additional actions to fix on the steering wheel other than putting them on directly. Complete donning will not take more than 20 minutes, provided that the buyer-car owner has not made any mistake with the size.
The advantages of this type:
A wide selection of models of all shapes, models, colors and shades. Quick and easy installation. Even a complete beginner can figure it out.
Disadvantages of this type:
Aesthetically, although the steering wheel becomes more attractive, there is still some “unfinishedness”. Constant physical impact on the cover causes the braid to begin to stretch. Thus, over time, the braid will begin to not sit tightly on the steering wheel, which in turn will lead to slipping. And this causes very great inconvenience when driving.
put the cover on the steering wheel
Sheathing covers are a kind of “new skin”, in their subgroup they are divided into two types according to the type of direct fastening. Using a lace or a special thread. A more advanced variation of the braid is a kind of steering wheel wrap.
The advantages of this type:
Aesthetic - allows you to get an excellent result, a well-tightened steering wheel will be pleasing to the eye and fit perfectly into the interior. It fits tightly to the steering wheel, there is no risk of slipping. Durable.
The downside is that installation is difficult, you need to spend a lot of time and have some sewing skills. To obtain an ideal result, it may be necessary to remove the steering wheel.
The leather steering wheel gives the car's interior its own style, it is pleasant to hold in your hands, it becomes thicker and more comfortable. To cover the steering wheel with leather, it is not necessary to seek the service of a workshop. Even an unprepared person can handle such modifications to a car. Let's consider the features of such tuning.
The steering wheel reupholstery process is similar for all LADA cars (XRAY, Vesta, Largus, Granta, Priora, Kalina, Niva 4x4) and has no fundamental differences. In the article we will focus on two specific examples; the rest of the photo reports will be published in the comments.
- buy a leather braid (cover) for the steering wheel (the accessory is sold for a specific LADA model, the price is about 1,700 rubles). See AliExpress catalog.
- remove the steering wheel (Vesta/XRAY, Granta/Kalina/Priora).
For reference
: the required diameter of the steering wheel braid for all LADA models (Kalina, Lada Priora, Lada Granta, Largus, Vesta, XRAY) is 37-39 cm. Size “M”.
How to remove and disassemble the VAZ 2107 steering wheel, its diameter, what can be installed, instructions with photos and videos
Car steering is one of the important mechanisms of any vehicle. It includes several components that are responsible for moving the car in the direction specified by the driver. An integral part of the steering mechanism is the steering wheel. Its presence allows you to control the front axle and steer the wheels.
VAZ 2107 steering wheel
The steering wheel is connected to the steering gearbox through an intermediate shaft. The entire steering design is designed to transfer the rotational force of the steering wheel shaft into a similar rotational force of the bipod shaft. When the steering gear lever turns and the steering linkage is applied, the front wheels rotate.

A car steering wheel is a frame with a hub, rim and spokes. On the VAZ 2107, the steering wheel has 4 spokes, and the rim itself is made of special rubber. The steering wheel size on this car is 400 mm. This diameter is quite large by today's standards, but turning the steering wheel is not difficult.
There is a pressure element on the steering wheel that allows you to turn on the sound signal.
The standard VAZ 2107 steering wheel has 4 spokes and a rim diameter of 400 mm
Is it possible to install from another car?
The steering wheel on the VAZ 2107 differs from the steering wheel of the same “penny” or “six” in its more attractive appearance and comfortable grip. If for some reason the standard steering wheel does not suit you, there are options for replacing it with a part from other cars:
- "Kalina", "Priora", VAZ 2115;
- products from Chinese manufacturers;
- steering wheels from the “sport” category of such well-known brands as Sparco, Momo, etc.
The steering wheel from the Priora in the interior of the Seven looks pretty nice
Wheels designed for tuning and sports are universal. They can be installed on different cars using a special adapter that is designed for a specific model.
It is not recommended to install products from unknown Chinese manufacturers on classic rear-wheel drive Zhiguli cars. This is explained by the fact that such cars are not equipped with a rack, but with a steering gear with a worm mechanism. The absence of hydraulic or electric power steering means that sometimes quite a lot of force must be applied to the steering wheel.
When installing a low-quality product, there is a possibility that at some point you will be left with the steering wheel in your hands, which will lead to undesirable consequences. Therefore, when choosing a steering wheel, attention should be paid not only to aesthetics, convenience and ergonomics. The steering wheel must also meet safety requirements.
You can be confident in the quality of parts from the Togliatti Automobile Plant and well-known European brands, since all products of these manufacturers are tested.
Sports
The sports steering wheel was initially used only in rallies, i.e. for its intended purpose. However, some owners of “Sevens” install such a steering wheel in order to modify their car, to make it different from the standard. Installing a sports steering wheel has the following advantages:
- space is saved due to the smaller size of the product;
- the small size of the steering wheel improves the ability to maneuver at higher speeds;
- attractive appearance.
A sports steering wheel is installed as a tuning element
Of the minuses it is worth noting:
- high probability of buying a low-quality part;
- automatic turn off of turn signals will not function;
- the need to purchase a special adapter;
- there is a possibility of being refused a technical inspection.
Not everyone likes the classic VAZ steering wheel because of its size. However, it is worth considering that installing a sports steering wheel is not a cheap pleasure.

Wood
There are owners of Zhiguli and other “classics” who strive to give the salon a special style and comfort. Therefore, instead of a standard steering wheel, they install a wooden product. This steering wheel is similar in spokes and size to a sports steering wheel, but the rim itself is made of wood. The detail in the interior of the cabin looks quite attractive.
Installing a wooden steering wheel allows you to give the car interior a special style
How to remove the steering wheel of a VAZ 2107
The need to remove the steering wheel may arise for various reasons. It’s worth going into more detail on when and how to do this.
When to shoot
The VAZ 2107 steering wheel is a fairly reliable part that does not have to be removed very often. There are practically no parts that can fail. The most common reasons for its dismantling are:
- Signal button problems. The problem manifests itself in the inability to use the sound signal, which occurs due to a broken contact;
- appearance. As the car is used, the surface of the steering wheel wears out. To hide signs of wear, car owners use braids, but not everyone likes them. This product additionally increases the diameter of the steering wheel;
- tuning If the goal is to replace the steering wheel with a more modern and stylish one, then dismantling it cannot be done;
- repair. Removing the part may also be necessary when carrying out certain types of work on the dashboard, dashboard or horn contacts.
