Suede Steering Wheels

I am going to get my steering wheel recovered (thanks again Freddie), but I want it recovered so it looks different.

I was thinking Suede but the guys that recover it say that it rubs off and looks kak. Karting steering wheels also rub off but then you drive a Kart hard. Also the M3csl comes out with Suede, dono if it lasts though. So then I thought I will go half suede and half leather but for it to look good the join would be where my hands go.

Has anyone else recovered theirs?? I think my last resort would be black leather and red stitching, but suede is so sporty and cool :cry: .

genuine suede can't really rub off, but you start to polish it :)

No idea how you gonna cover the stock steering wheel, then again I only have a small clue how it looks. Have never owned a stock one

Its leather not plastic.

I got a quote of R650 to recover it in leather.
