Different suede kinds of suede, have you ever looked at chrome suede and how that ages?
Would a shoe waterproofer or anti stain mean that they would be an issue?
Also should you be holding the steering lightly, not gripping on for dear life?
Why don't you buy an actual suede Nardi, OMP, Sparco, Personal, Momo etc and report back on how it feels and looks after 6 months.
Have had two different suede sparco wheels (with the yellow line) in the past and I used them bare handed and they were fine. Then I did wipe my hands before driving and steer with my finger tips, never putting my thumbs inside by the spokes.
Have you tried cleaning the wheels?
