    M Technic II Steering wheel...

    Should I go with EVO suede or normal leather wrap?

    The car will be driven less than 3,000/year if that matters...

    i prefer leather wrap over suede. even you drive 3k a year, i drove my zhp w/ suede 1,500k a year. i still like the leather steering wheel IMO.

      IMO, the suade looks like a worn wheel. But i do like the normal leather with colored stiching.

        I bought a brand new MOMO Champion wheel, which has suede on the top portion. It looked and felt awesome until I put my hands on it and drove it just a few miles. After only 10 or so miles it had the look like it was really worn and I didn't like it as much then, that and the fact the MOMO was really to small and blocked my gauges. I would honestly stay away from a suede wheel after that experience with mine.

            I think Mariano actually has the Evo suede one... maybe he can chime in.

                I have a suede wheel in my GF E46 from the zhp and love it. I want a sparco suede wheel, i love the feel when they get worn. I also feel like they dry out hot hands.
