Remod,
I have both wheels and use the leather wheel much more than the wood wheel. If you are going to a car show or such, I switch to the wood wheel but for everyday driving the leather wheel is much more comfortable in addition to having much more "grip". The wood wheel gets very slippery when you sweat a little.
You can call Dynamic in Ross and order the wood wheel and have both. Cost is around $125 if I recall.
Good luck.
Phil
