What are steering wheels made out of??

Question:
and why when you turn it (and the car is off) it locks??

Answers:

car battery?

Steering wheels are made with a core of steel (like a ring) and a covering of plastic or other material (could be leather for example). They lock so that the car is more difficult to steal. When you remove the ignition key, a pin pushes into a slot inside the steering shaft.
