No, I love the thick leather wheel. I've had wood-trimmed wheels in Lexus loaners and really didn't care for either the look or the feel.

If holding a steering wheel makes your hand hurt, I would get outside a little, maybe play some tennis or do a little running...

I find the wheel is very comfortable for shuffle steering. I usually try to keep 2 hands on the wheel as much as possible, a safety sort of thing.

I thought it was ok. Use to Momo wheels. My wheel has real carbon fiber on the upper and lower halves. 1 of 2 black carbon fiber wheels in the USA.
