JCW Steering Wheel Differences
My CM comes in on Friday (fingers crossed) and I've been considering getting the JCW Steering Wheel as one of my first mods. I'm trying to figure out the differences in the JCW Steering Wheel options. As I see it there are 3 options.
1. Leather with red stitching
This appears to be the stock JCW replacement wheel.
2/3. Leather/Alcantara or All Leather
I know #2/3 are the same wheel, just different materials. My question is whether or not #1 is as big (thick) and as soft (padded) as the others. Does anyone know if the carbon fiber inserts will fit in #1?
The alcantara wheel and shift **** combo is pretty awesome, I just wish it had the red stitching!
Thanks in advance!

The Alcantara looks very nice but does not wear well.

I'm second guessing myself again on the Alcantara - that's a lot of cash if it is only going to look good for a few years.

This would be considered "normal" Alcantara wear:

Agree with Rkw! I love the sporty look of alcantara but it really shines for it's utility. It grips VERY well but it does wear fast and won't look nice when compared to the rest of your new MINI. I think the MINI alcantara wheel's lack of full circumference use is just as Rkw said. It's on there for looks almost exclusively. Unless the steering wheel is fully wrapped it's not going to give you the grip you'd want in the right places.
