PURPOSE: A steering wheel of a vehicle is provided to prevent lowering of appearance of the steering wheel, and to eliminate the gap between a wood cover and a leather cover by restricting contraction with fitting ends of the wood cover and the leather cover to protrusions in changing humidity or temperature. CONSTITUTION: A hub core(5) of a rim(1) is integrally connected to a rod(2a) of a body(2) through a T-shaped coupler(4). A cover layer(6) is made of PVC(poly vinyl chloride) or PU(poly urethane), and the cover layer is surrounded with a wood cover(7) and a leather cover(8). Protrusions(4a) are formed in the surface of the T-shaped coupler to cover the connection portion of the wood cover and the leather cover. Contraction is prevented by fitting ends of the wood cover and the leather cover to protrusions in changing humidity or temperature. The lowering of appearance is restricted by preventing the gap between the wood cover and the leather cover.
