Ok so I got the wheel re-laced using my new idea and it worked out much better. I am still going to cut the leather where it is over the spokes and glue it to the curvature of the orignal wrap but at least now I don't want to take this off and I can live with it.
Although it doesn't look OEM it's hundreds less...
I'll repeat by referencing that other FR500 steering wheel thread.
I stumbled upon a used dark charcoal '03 Cobra wheel. They are double wrapped leather compared to GT/V6 single wrapped wheels. I got mine for $52ish shipped off eBay. Check local yards. Mine fit great and has been in my car for about 30k miles without any visible signs of wear since I got it.
