Default Re-wrap steering wheel?

Hey folks, my steering wheel is looking pretty worn at the top and sides after 57K and I was thinking about maybe having is re-wrapped, possibly in gray alcantara or other suede like material. Anyone every do this or have any idea how much you think it might cost including materials?

Default Around $250 for an OEM Alcantara steering wheel on ebay.

Although after about 10 months I really miss the feel of a leather steering wheel.

Might put on the SLine perforated steeering wheel in the spring.

Default Alcantara steering wheel is probably not great for a daily driver.

Best suited for a race car driven by a guy with gloves on. The material requires car and brushing to keep it from looking matted like the belly of a stray dog. If you have clammy hands forget it because it will look terrible quickly.
