Just had my (worn out) leather wheel wrapped in alcantara. Previous owner of my car apparently greased up his left hand before holding the wheel every day... I couldn't bring the leather back from the dead, even with a few leatherique applications.
Anyways, I was about to order an OEM wheel from Suncoast, but one of the guys in the the local ///M group said he wraps wheels and showed me some previous examples (including a few 911s). For $400Cdn - I couldn't say no, I think it turned out pretty well. I went with 1.2mm thick alcantara (0.7mm was also an option) as I feel the OEM wheel is a bit thin. Black stitching, yellow center stripe.

Looks like in you're in Vancouver as well! He's based in Richmond, does this as a side hobby. Let me know if you'd like his contact info.
Yes, please! How long did it take? Did you remove the steering wheel yourself to give to him? Can we meet up sometime for me to look at your wheel? TIA!

The wrap took 2 days for me, but he said depending on workload it’s usually anywhere from 2-4 days.
I took the wheel off myself, there’s a thread here somewhere that outlines it step by step. Honestly it only takes like 3-5 minutes TOPS. I’m heading to Kelowna for the weekend but will be back next week if you’d like to link up and have a look!

1) New Conti extreme contact tires
2) Soul exhaust carbon fiber tips
3) numberic pedals
4) new stone guards custom made from expel
5) full front protection (LID liner and porsche cargo liner)
6) smoking package cubby thing
7) new center console lid with porsche crest
Still have a few things left on my list like trying to figure out what to do with my door panels that are starting to warp, maybe full Soul sport exhaust, either carbon or dark aluminum trim, and full paint correction.
