Did it take you guys a few days or weeks or driving before getting used to the shape of the V2? Feels a little weird to me, especially turning, u-turns, etc. I drive with my hands at 9 and 3 all the time.

Does it really feel that different? Plan on ordering the V2 this weekend.

All I can attest to is the stripes don't hold up for anything! Have V2 and it's showing wear already. Additionally, had the same issue on the E92 performance wheel back in the day.

If I could do it again, I would probably get the CS wheel. It looks great and probably feels great too. |

Question: My car came with V1 from the factory when the first owner ordered it. It's a '16 so the alcantera has seen better days (I intend to get it professionally cleaned), but I really want to get a V2. My question is, does the center carbon ring from a V1 fit a V2?
I believe it does but want to check before I get it cleaned and trade to a V2!

Yeah, the CF insert fits perfectly although it doesn’t seem like it should due to the squared off bottom. Optical illusion I guess. Just installed my V2 last week! |

Reasoning... In my opinion, alcantara is difficult to maintain. I love the V1 and several of my friends run it w/no issues. If you eat in the car, have sweaty hands, use lotion, etc. having an alt material (like leather on the V2)to hold is ideal. Like most things, I think it boils down to how much time you spend cleaning/detailing your cars. Regardless of which you end up selecting , I would protect it with a product from a reputable brand and think it would be prudent to have a cleaner for like materials on hand. |

These are the wheels I run. The V1 feels a little more narrow and the material does absorb a little road feel. However it really works nice on hot days, always stays cool. Doesn’t get sticky feeling like leather.
The V2 leather is a nice choice. Thicker. Sportier. More feel through the wheel. Feels more precise. The inner “ridge” between 10 o clock and 2 o clock where your palm goes takes a little getting used to. Overall both are very good wheels
