My girl has a Juke Nismo, for normal daily driving only, and her's is wearing down as well at 12k miles and will be ugly by 20k at my estimation. When Alcantara wears down it looks like colored cardboard, extremely freaking ugly IMO. As much as I love the feel I would never buy a wheel with Alcantara on the sides.
Thanks for the tip. Definitely makes me reconsider the idea of an alacantara wheel.
