Why in hell would you want to put a cover over your Alcantara steering wheel. Its not a leather and way more durable then leather. Easy to clean with a damp cloth and warm water, even use a little dish soap if needed. You can even buy cleaner made for it. Or as stated above just buy some driving gloves if your so concerned about it getting dirty. Geesh!

Get a grip Kansas, I'm sure you're more worried about cow shit on the floor mats.

Gloves are the answer, I had an OMP Alcantara wheel in my clubman and bought a pair of black leather driving gloves with contrast piping in to match the car (cos I am vain) it never showed a mark. šŸ‘šŸ» That way you get to enjoy the look of the wheel and preserve it. If you put a cover on it then all you doing is just preserving it for the next guy to enjoy instead of enjoying it yourself.

Naa, gotta feel it. wearing gloves is like always wearing protection...and letting the next guy raw dog it. ;)

Question for the glove wearers... When you are stopped, do you put your hands in your lap so that other drivers don't see them? :) :)

OP has an Ecoboost which costs 1/3 of an actual GT350R and he's worried about a steering wheel that didn't come on the car. I don't get it.

Only use the bottom leather portion to drive. Never ever touch the alcantara suede. LOL
I try to do this, but only when I'm cruising and not handling the car. You see enough of these wheels available on ebay or whatever that im not worried about it that much anyway.

Anyone with concern really should have a standing search on ebay and pick up an extra when one becomes available at your pricepoint.

I wear gloves. White ones with red Puma logos. I just don’t care what other drivers are thinking. Literally don’t care. I love the feeling of racing gloves while I’m driving—also helps to grab the car back if it’s tramlining hard. I have lots of friends who gloves whether they’re driving a GT350R or a Ford GT. Guess my question back would be: Are you so concerned with what others are thinking while you’re driving your car? 😁😁

Girls drive around with eyelashes over their headlights and people have fake big brake calipers—point is nobody cares and so what if they doā€”ā€œpeople, do youā€.
