Alcantara wheel options.....what do you think.

[Tara]

Hi , I'm getting my wheel done by Jack at Royal Steering Wheels and I got a replacement wheel to use while I'm getting mine done but now I'm not sure which one to use....mine is a Facelift without the copper on the wheel but I like the copper on the one I have and I'm thinking of getting that done and keeping mine for when I sell..... thats people's thoughts....? My oem and the one i got here.

I've got the copper one on my Ateca.
I always loved some contrast colored trim parts around, I believe it livens up the cabin, so in my opinion copper one is better.

+1 for the copper accents.

I agree the copper ones look better for sure but it was only that all the latest post 2025 reg like mine are all produced without any copper for a so called cleaner look lol

I like the copper one best.

I couldn't care less, both look very similar. I mean from a resale point of view.

I’m surprised they dropped the copper parts as they do look good. I’d go with copper myself.

I meant just to have it back to stock when selling as some buyers just like oem when buying.

Not having copper on the face-lift model seems like a penny pinching move.

Is the alcantara work that you're having done on your OE wheel anything special or is it a refurbishment to keep it OE but bring it back to new?

That said, when you get your wheel back, take a look at them side by side and make a decision.

Your car, your steering wheel. Which one do you prefer the look and feel of? You decide.

Checked the wheel on my one year old Ateca VZ.

The difference seems to be, mine and your replacement have four thin strips of copper, two on each of the 3 and 9 o'clock spokes, and around the buttons at 4 & 8 by the hub. Your OE one has two wider panels on the inner faces of the 6 o'clock spokes.

Personally, I prefer what I've got. Up to you whether you stick or switch.

As said look at them side by side and decide.
