All three wheels are 370mm in diameter (about 14.5 inches).

Note that the M-Sport and M3 steering wheels do not have a heated option, so if your current steering wheel is heated, you will lose that feature. If you want to retain that feature, then the next option is to have it recovered in nappa leather like the M3 wheel. This is what I ended up doing and was very happy - cost was about $200 or so.

What's the cheapest option here? I am not sold on necessarily an m3 or msport wheel vs my sport wheel, but since my sport wheel is wearing .. what is the cheapest or some of the "cheaper" solutions?

I would need minimal downtime as it's my DD
