I'm after a new wheel for the MX5 and was thinking about buying a Momo Suede (Alcantara) wheel. From looking at them they seem to be advertised for Track/Rally. Is there much difference using a Suede wheel in day to day driving; I know some (track focused) road cars have them.

Hmm, the degradation is something I didn't really consider.

As nice as I think it would be to have a suede wheel, it's probably best to look for Leather then. There appears to be quite a few Steering Wheel copies going around on eBay.. "Nardi Style steering wheel.."
