I have not personally used them, but do have a custom steering wheel from Guardian Designs. I have seen a few wheels from the Dallas CSW and felt as though the leather was over stretched and had too many wrinkles, compared to the product that GD produced. I decided to move forward with GD and so glad I did. 3 years later, wheel still looks like new, turn around was a little longer, but worth the wait.

I had Dallas redo my steering wheel in Alcantara after unsuccessfully attempting to remove the stickiness from the stock leather wheel by the previous owner. I had selected Dallas as they were known by the Porsche community. while it's much better, I would say it's not up to OEM quality unfortunately as I can feel and see some looseness on some of the seams. this may be due to change from leather to Alcantara but I would have thought Dallas would have handled that correctly. I am happy with the change though (as I'm being picky now) but would recommend Guardian instead as they seem to have the best quality, especially for the F-Type but that's just from reading reviews.

I am with the Rock...I put leather where my hands would go...and to this day have always felt the alcantara wheels, while they look great and feel great, get so gross so fast. All you have to do if forget you put suntan lotion on 30 minutes before getting in and the wheel is just yucked up. There are youtube videos where people show you how they clean their steering wheel after each drive. That to me is just way over the top...if track only, with proper fire gloves, sure. But for use with just your skin...real leather is so much simpler and less gross. I of course would love to have an alcantara wheel....if one could be made that did not get gross....perhaps a new fabric..anyway, both of these wheel options are amazing. Good luck to the OP.
(PS: in the photo I showed there was alcantara on the top and bottome of that wheel...I was always a little worried I'd mess that wheel up...if doing it again, it would be all leather)
