Yeap my plastic one does not show any of the joints that I seem to distinguish

If there is stitching all the way round on the inside of the wheel it is definitely leather. I am under the impression that VX leather steering wheels and gear knobs are real leather.

Never mind peeps (thanks for the replys

)....I lost the bid

Something obscure was happenning

I was competing for that F*c*ing s.wheel with another person and no matter how fast I was trying to beat the bids, he was always one step up...like an automatic bidding system or something....have you had a similar experience?

If he's set his maximum price to more than you were bidding then it would automatically bid on his behalf.

Does it really matter? you will never notice the difference when driving.

I'd say a definite YES to that, I replacemed my Design leather wheel with a VXR one & that is a 100% better than the original. I also have a plastic wheel to fit on the car when it is returned (having sold the original) & that feels very poor in comparison.

Oh yes it does. My previous Vectra C, an Active 1.8 had a 4-spoke plastic wheel, and the one on my SRI 2.0T Edition100 is 3-spoke stitched leather one, which is smaller and has much more 'feel' to it.
