Yeah. the leather in the bottom where it comes together is peeling off. I just try not to rub on it. One of my buddies that used to work fixing car interiors is going to try to fix it, other than that it is fine.

I have a little part of the leather on the inside of the 3 o' clock position starting to separate at the seams. 27K miles, but besides that, all the wheel really needs is for me to clean it. I sometimes neglect the interior bits.

the only problem i have had is the little plastic piece on the bottom always fell out. i still havent got around to gluing it. as long as the wheel doesn't fall off.
