LOVE those Miata wheels
Looks like its the JCW leather / alcantara wheel? I have the full leather JCW steering wheel, and just restitched it with some red thread.

Yes it’s the leather & alcantata but the alcantata has gone smooth. It will cost approx £200GBP to get it retrimmed with new leather and alcantata. Expensive but the rest of the interior is so nice I think I’m going to do it!
the only thing that would make it even better is if it had a stitched leather dash like the GP2.

So I was able to work a bit on the Clubman. Bilstein's all around, new Rotors and EBC pads. New springs gave a drop to a nice stance. What do you think?
Tires are Sumitomo HTR 225 / 45 - 17. Close to wear bars but still life in them. What replacement tires would the collective recommend? Thanks in advance.

It's been a while since I posted any pictures of my 2012 Clubman S. My wife said no more new cars so, I decided to make her look sound and run like new.
She just got some fresh paint, I had hyper-dipped the chrome previously but this time around I had all the chrome pieces wrapped gloss black added the Miltek non-res exhaust, added an intercooler, and NM ECU power module, LED headlights, scuttles, and side markers. New 17" Billet wheels. Deleted the rear reflectors and decided not to put the blacked-out emblems on the barn doors. Still waiting for my yellow scuttle S overlays coming from across the water. Can't wait for the paint to cure so I can put a ceramic coat on her. Still thinking about coil overs and dropping her about an inch and a half. She's come a long way but I keep finding things to do to her and with her. She's got me excited. Don't tell my wife!

Wheels are 17x8 45 Konig Dekagrams. Tires are 215/40 (8" wide) Falken RT660s. The 660s have a wider mid section than the same size A052s, so I'm running a 5mm spacer f/r, and they still rub the front strut slightly. (Bilstein B6s don't have the strut indent). The rear didn't need spacers. I wish I could fit more tire.
