So my car has about 70,000 miles on it and the top of the leather on the steering wheel is a little bumpy and also the alcantara is about gone. I don't like the carbon fiber wrap Wheels I would rather have leather and alcotera just like OEM what do most you guys do about replacing your wheel. Or is there someone that can rewrap it back to factory?
Thanks in advance

you try cleaning it with non scented baby wipes and then using a light bristle brush to feather it out? I use the wipes on my entire interior and doesnt stain anything and leaves a nice clean look.

I'll post pictures soon but I think the leather on top of the steering wheel is melted it was a Texas car and worn obviously it does appear that the alcotera has completely worn off and it is just smooth now.
Not sure where you are located. In the UK there are a few places that re-wrap steering wheels on an exchange basis.
Every time I get a new car, I get this done as a priority, especially as alcantara that hasn't been looked after is disgusting. I also like perforated leather where my hands mostly touch and alcantara for the top and bottom. Just makes maintenance a bit easier. Only pic on my phone below, ignore the paperwork I was taking a picture of.

That's what I really want I just want the OEM wheel and new condition. The carbon fiber steering wheels look good but the feel of them is not what I like so I would rather just stay with OEM plus I like the 14 to 16 steering wheel where it's kind of flattened out at the top. If anyone knows where I can send it to reroute or can exchange for a reroute that would be great please let me know.
Can you post photos? When I got my mine the alcantara was completely matted, hard, and smooth. With some dish soap and an electric toothbrush (tip: the $5 kids kind runs on AA and is a detailing secret weapon) I was able to get back the soft texture and deep black color. Crusty on R and refreshed on L.
