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?

I actually drive my cars. You know, hold the steering wheel like it's meant to be held, hoons, trackdays, skids. You should try it sometime.
