I'm finally getting around to ordering my replacement... it's been put off for like +6 months because I forget about it. My original wheelskin has some knicks/scrapes on the top after 5 years of use - mainly from after I got married and wasn't used-to having a ring on that hand.
Anyway, I'm trying to decide on color, this is what it looks like now:

I'm not getting the same one. Now that they have perforated ones, I think I want the perf. skin on the top & bottom of the wheel. I was thinking black for those parts, but wasn't sure if I wanted another color for the sides? In the picture above the lighter color is gray, the darker is charcoal.
Here is what the EuroPerf wheelskin looks like:

Ideas/suggestions? I'm going to order this today, so quick replies appreciated, thanks.

You could do black, light grey (bigger difference than you have now), or just go all black. Do you want two-tone for sure?

No, I don't necessarily need 2 color. If I do a single color, it will be all black. Not sure if I'd do perf. all the way around, or just top and bottom.
The gray I have is the lightest available. Light colors get dirty quick too. There is no silver.
I should also have posted the available color cart:

I think my only options would be: black all around. Black (t/b) & gray (sides). Black (t/b) & charcoal (sides). Then would be the all-perf or only perf. on top & bottom question.

I would go with solid charcoal myself.

Black all around or black t/b and charcoal sides, no perforation.

I completely forgot about these, I'm going to get one as well.
Didn't you say the size they give for Elantra's isn't correct?

Right. They say size is AXX, but to fit correctly you need size AX. If you order for a "1995 Elantra" you will get size AX, which is correct. Some sites let you order just by size, so all you need to know is AX, but some sites make you put in a car, so if you order from one of those sites, just say you have a '95 Elantra.

Awesome. I'm ordering mine now.
According to Wheelskins.com, 1995 Elantra is AXX. Is it just different for different sizes?

Mine came in on Monday, and I installed it yesterday. I figured since it was the second time it would go faster... nope. Still took me about an hour and a half to stitch it on.
