Why would you want fake wood ? You should go get the OEM wood steering wheel ...

I'm in the same boat. I get sweaty palms sometimes so I'd rather have some nicely wrapped leather. I'd actually like alcantara but that is $$$.

The wood ones like nice though if it matches the other wood accents.

I feel the same way and it's slipped on me a couple times but it just looks so damn nice I would never change it out ... Plus it can get really cold or even worse REALLY hot now in the summertime ... But still it just sets off the interior so nicely, I love it

I would love to get real wood and I would be down for a Group purchase but I need a tan leather one not a black leather one. All I could find were the black ones.

Default Fake Wood steering wheel

I purchased the second one which is called a steering wheel cap. Save your money because the fake wood will crack and the fake leather will start to peel from the sun's heat.
