OEM CTR leather wheels are currently out of stock but, last January I paid $165 shipped.
Difficulty 1-10 i'd say a 3. Just watch the recommended video.

Mine started to tear and flake off around 32k miles on the left side where my hand normally rests. No rings or any hand jewelry (they actually asked me this before doing a good will repair on it).

I had my stock wheel repaired as a good will repair through Honda. That wheel was eventually sent over to SWEIDIT to get upholstered in leather and Alcantera (leather sides with Alcantera top and bottom).
got pics?

I actually did the reverse of this, swapped my 18 wheel for the OEM 2020 alcantara. I've had it about a year now and it's holding up pretty well but is losing a bit of it's fluff. I ordered the SONAX alcantara cleaner off amazon the other day, waiting for it to show up. I was going to give it a quick clean and post the results.

But the wheels swap over no issues, just need to completely break the wheel down and swap over all parts.
