I just wear a pair of black MECHANIX "Covert".
Inexpensive ($20), breathable so hands don't perspire and
hand oils/perspiration stays off the steering wheel.
They also provide a good measure of thermal protection when
the engine hood is open for
oil check or touch inspection.
Form-fitting for good tactile feel.
When gloves get dirty or damaged, big deal, I keep an extra pair in the trunk.
The covert version is basically all black even the Mechanix logo.
Not usually in stores but always available online.

Keep the expensive leather driving gloves for an evening out.
And lastly......
I would NEVER cover a Moto-Lita wood steering wheel.
It's a signature trait of the Cobra designed by Simon Green.
Of course that's only my opinion.
