I did purchase wheel with Dd1 because I did sell mine formula v2, and I did love it. So person who I bought from said that whell was used up to 50 hrs with gloves. Leather on it is perfect condition like new, but got couple of marks on the silver paint(I do think to paint by my self) . Same time I did purchase brand new porsche rim and endurance mode with advanced padle, and to be honest this formula one wheel is more practical, and all working like new. I did tested all buttons everything works perfectly during race. So i can compare with my old v2 i sellit not long ago and everything works like new. I hope this helps you.
