Is that the cost when you order the car? How much is it to have it added?

I have an Alcantara wheel in my Cup car.

They work/wear well with driving gloves, but there can be an issue with oil/sweat from your hands staining the Alcantara.
Also, regular brushing of the surface will help maintain its looks.

This wheel might be a possibility (minus steering wheel mounted controls):

The Techart steering wheel from Claus Ettinger in LA is the way to go. I posted some pics a while back. It's a great wheel that is adaptable to the multi-functions or not. Nice and meaty and a nice feel

Can be had with some carbon too if you have other carbon in the interior.

Alcantara looks great when new. But it wears and absorbs sweat and looks old too soon. Further, alcantara wont match the rest of your interior.

I'll look for pics of the wheel or take some new ones.

That's the cost when ordered. It may not be possible at all to get these items through TEquipment since it falls under what Porsche calls the "exclusive" category meaning that they make these for each specific car. They don't keep extras on hand. I'm currently trying to get the CDZ - Gear Trim in Leather item which again is an "exclusive" item. The only way I could even get it "ordered" was when I provided the dealership with the VIN number of another car that already has that item in place. They had to say that the part was defective and a replacement was needed. However, if it's a non-exclusive item then it'd be possible to get it easily.
