They do suede for the price may be worth a punt? Can treat it with suede protector to make it almost as durable as alcantara?

All may not be lost however for M owners, they do offer a ton of options!!!

Not just the materials leather suede or PU, perforated or non perforated, but a ton of colours, different threads and even panel design/layouts

Just got mine from Wish on Monday, much faster delivery than I expected. I went for the synthetic finish as it's matt black, quite impressed with it. Just started fitting it last night, it took ages getting the airbag out and the wheel off so I'm hoping to get it finished tonight.

From what I have done so far it makes a big difference to the look and feel of the wheel, the standard rim is too skinny for me. I'll post pics when finished

Did mine with the same cover earlier this year. Really easy. One of my favorite improvements along side the zhp gear knob.

Good job, I did mine in plain black. Looking back at the pictures with the ///M stitching I'm sorry I didn't go for that
