steering wheel cover...need help
I just bought a new M-sport steering and love how thick the steering feels in hand. Is there anywhere I could purchase an alcantara steering wheel cover which is thin enough that i can feel the m-sport steering beneath it? My main purpose for the wheel cover is to make sure my leather stays new and doesnt scratch and I also dont lose the feel of the actual steering by putting a cover on it. I have found some covers but they are all too thick..so much so that I cant feel the shape of the steering underneath.

The Nappa leather on the m sport wheel is of high quality and will remain like new unless you are taking sharp objects to it. Keep it clean with a non greasy leather cleaner and it will treat you well. 30k miles later mine still looks brand new. Covering it should be a crime.

Why put a cover over the new scratch-free leather? So the next owner can enjoy it?
The whole point of a nice leather wheel is to grip it when you need to and enjoy it. Usually covers are put on non-leather wheels or old beat-up wheels. Enjoy it and keep it in good condition as already mentioned.

I would never cover my steering wheel! If you're that worried about it sell it to someone who will appreciate it and buy a normal steering wheel that you could care less about! I could give us mine!

Just going to bring this up, on a serious note, is there any nice steering wheel covers? I don't want to get a custom one and although I love the leather, I wanted something with a little color or CF on it. Any ideas/recommendations?
