Yes the colors i chose were black & sand.
Soon after I started the install and at first i thought it was a tad short as pulling the thread with much force the two ends weren't meeting. I did about 5 or so holes and took them out and re did them and they now came together. The black leather is a bit more stout and harder to pull together. The Sand leather was more compliant and didnt need as much tightness to come together. I did put the joint for the stitches slightly off center to the back of the wheel so the sewing and where the two ends met weren't as obvious. A dozen or so times i had to let the thread un twist as it would form knots while i was trying to pull the thread thru.
The measurements i gave them were 17 1/2 dia. X 3 1/2 cir. Take your circumference measurement from the high point of the finger relief. On the irv2 forum others have used
3 3/4. Mine came together just fine with a bit of careful pulling. I wore a cheap harbor freight glove on my right hand as the thread will cut into you when pulling the thread.
