    FS OEM Alcantara steering wheel

    I bought this brand new back when BMW was blowing them out. It is an OEM BMW Performance wheel. I had it on my car for about 6 months but decided I liked the original leather wheel better so swapped it back.

    I while back I decided I would clean it up and sell it but unfortunately it didn't turn out as I had hoped. I followed the DIY here but I think I just didn't rub long enough as I couldn't get the sweater shaver to remove the crap. As you can see it's not really balled up at all. I could sit there and pick them off while I watched TV but I really don't feel like messing with it.

    The good news is that with such little use the Alcantara is still plenty thick to get it looking like new

    Letting it go for $275 including shipping

    I think the price and the pictures don't fit together...that LOOKS used/beat up even if you say it's not. Plus without the trim pieces I'd want to see a lower cost as anyone with a worn wheel will most likely swap those over.

    Fair enough. I actually have a spare trim piece that's in good shape that I'd be happy to throw in.

    I'll take pics of it this afternoon and update the first post.

    Ha Ha, everybody's a comedian.

    When I took it off the car it showed very little wear. It was when I decided to clean it up and used a Magic Eraser on it it started to look like that. I think I just didn't do it long enough for them to "ball up" so at this point a sweater shaver won't grab them and pull them off.
