The leather bound Corrado version of the GTI wheel is quite nice, and theirs nearly always one on ebay, they seem to go for around £30/40

Also love the later Corrado VR6 leather wheel, think it was also used in the G40.

Must admit I'm looking for a leather MK2 wheel at the moment though.

I have this one, its a italvolanti wheel and apparently uber rare. To be honest I have never ever seen a wheel that I would prefer over this one.

Assume you mean this style


Just a heads up on the fitment, visually a 944 and 911 one look the same but they have different splines.  Good ones aren't cheap either.

Here's my Italvolanti offering.



It was fitted by the dealer as an option when the car was new. I have swapped it for a leather G60 wheel for a more OEM look for the time being while I decide whether to get it re-trimmed or not.
Red Mk6 gone replaced with a white Mk7 which has gone too. Green Mk2 here to stay.
