...is a white steering wheel.

There is no way I could ever own something like this.

because you don’t wear gloves permanently?

I have white interior on my Mazda. It isn’t bad, you just have to commit to cleaning it every couple days for an hour.

Oh wait, it is bad.

Heck, I wipe down my black steering wheel weekly. I’d lose what’s left of my mind with this.

Now imagine this, but after a couple years as a smoker car.

I’m a naturally oily guy. If I used this steering wheel for a few weeks without gloves, it would not be pretty.

Just make your driver wear gloves all the time and have them clean it daily.

Can you imagine the flip-out of the owner the first time they take it in for service? Hopefully the dealers are smart enough to use steering wheel covers when cars like these come in.

I already wash my hands after I eat if I am going to be driving soon. I couldn’t do it.

My fintail has a white wheel, but it has been under a leather cover for ~50 years. This has stained the wheel a little, so the cover stays on. However, these wheels were hard plastic, and generally resistant to discoloring in normal use (not my car, but similar interior colors):

Haha! As in, one use each and every time they sit in the car.

Oh yeah, that would clean up from dirt and oil just fine.

What year did they go to plastic from wood?

yes :p (im sure the service bill will cover the plastic costs)

A box of these in the center console.

For the wheel rim? I am not sure, but I have to imagine that might have changed in the 30s. Even then, they had plastic (or similar composite) wheels:

So, full disclosure: while having this conversation, I felt the need to wash my hands. I washed them (with dish soap, no less) like 10 mins ago and I can already feel the oil coming back to my fingertips. You should see the shiny spot on my space bar...

Related: I really don’t understand what hand lotion is for.

That truly is beautiful, no two ways around it. White leather is always the benchmark of classy to me. The silverstone leather in the F10 M5 has always been a drool fest for me.

If I’m paying for top quality, supple leather on my steering wheel, I want to touch it. But I’ve also never used a case on my phone...

I’m not saying it doesn’t look good, especially contrasted with that sexy brown.

My M3 is SSII over Silverstone. =)

What a terrible idea lol. Fun fact an accord at the Detroit Auto show had white leather that was mostly blue by the time I got there on day 5 of the show this year. White leather is a bad idea in cars.

Quite clearly you have excellent taste. Here’s a huge thumbs up for one of the best color combos for that car.

Haha - thanks. I didn’t spec it, but I’m very happy the guy who leased it before me did! The black, silver and aluminum all work together really well. And I just love SSII.
