[QUOTE="ANGREY, post: 16110457, member: 188865"] All, I've grown tired of my alcantara steering wheel. The material is "matted" or slicked down and without gloves, I don't feel like I've got a good purchase on the wheel. Option 1. I can remove the wheel and "treat" or wash it. Have any of you guys done this? Does the material "recover" or perk up after washing it? What did you wash and recondition it with? Few hours with the car being undrivable. Option 2. Send it off to Dallassteeringwheel. It's $379 to re-wrap in all leather. $30 to add a colored 12 o'clock index stripe. $50 for perforated leather. $75 for additional padding or underlayment to make it larger/thicker (which would be preferable at the top section). Takes about 4-5 days after receipt and I'd have to ship him the wheel and get it back. All in all about 2 weeks with the car being undrivable. Option 3. Pay $800 for a BPP wheel in leather. Try to sell the old wheel for $100 and make the final cost $700 out the door. No down time other than the removal/install. Option 4. Pay $370 or $320 for a part carbon fiber part leather wheel from one of the supply houses. The lower option has a single section of the carbon fiber looking poly at the top, the higher option has 3 sections top and a couple at bottom. Does anyone have feedback with this? Is the poly faux carbon fiber section even more slippery than a matted won alcantara wheel? [/QUOTE]
