Thin biker's gloves from Lewis Leathers (ages old!) for warm weather, and 12v heated gloves for cold (they're quite warm without plugging them in too). In really warm weather I go without, as my wheel's covered in leather and is generally non-slip in normal use.

My car is so sexy I have to wear boxing gloves.
The rubber-dipped thermally insulated ones Screwfix do in black for £5-£8. Seem to work fine.
