On the one hand, I was trying not to grip very hard because I want the alcantara to last.... and yet I found my fingers cramping from because the alcantara slides through your hands easier and it takes a bit more effort to "hang on". Maybe I should wear my driving gloves from racing Don't know if that makes sense?

I really love it now though and don't think I'll be putting the OEM wheel back on anytime soon!
That makes sense... I probably would do the same thing, holding the steering wheel... I have to figure the whole "puncture the back of the wheel" step... I'm sure there are pictures somewhere.

Thanks for the heads up
