Have the steering wheel reference for about 7 months and was pleased at first. The reference gives a tacky feel, as it should be. The handle-scope is quite large and may not have thought of delicate hands. At the seams, the leather is slightly, optically not so perfect, but in turn improves the grip. Now the reason for the downgrade to the transverse seams is now - as I said 7 months after putting into use - removed the upper color layer and acts badly worn now, although I have the material does not strain in the least. So strong is probably not the wear / abrasion, I think. I will respect the exchange and have now ordered another product on Amazon. I hope the next reference lasts longer.
