I hold my hands on the spokes too. I love the spokes on the AMG wheels, although they could get tiring with the position after a long drive. I don't know.

Wood = luxury.

I think it's acceptable to have partial wood/leather steering wheel. Leave the 3 and 9 o'clock position covered with leather and there you go!
