    I'm going to send my wheel to Gary's Steering Wheel Restoration in Carlisle, PA..
    Seems like a good guy..
    As Trump says, "What do I have to loose?"

    These guys restored a wheel for me for a 67 bus a while back. Highly recommend but not sure if they do the same material that you have in your car. They should know who can do it locally for you. The car scene in California is first rate to anywhere in the world so I am sure there is someone who can do it near you.

    I just used this vendor as well on my 1994 TransAm.

    But as noted, they work in leather.

    I have no idea who could repair that plastic, if originality is your goal I think NOS parts would be required??

    There are places that will recast the plastic rim...

    They make a mold with the existing wheel, fill in the spaces in the mold where the wheel is broken and then they cut the old rim plastic off and recast it. You can color it any way you want.

    Its typically just an acrylic resin.

    Old school hot rodders used to do it in clear with glitter flake on a bench.
