Wow. Great to know, and thanks for your candor.

if you are concerned bout this, dont get a wheel with alcantara!
Thanks. My hands don't get sweaty easily, but my hands do get dry easily, so I do use a lot of lotion in the morning before heading out. So, maybe, this material isn't for me. That's too bad, b/c it looks nice and I'm sure it feels great WHEN NEW.
