volant gainé cuir perforé
Explanation:
Les français disent "volant gainé cuir", les canadiens et les belges "volant gainé de cuir".

Le cuir perforé facilite l'aération et rend le volant moins glissant, il ajoute aussi une touche esthétique sport.

volant à empreintes recouvert de couir


Explanation:
Il me semble que deux adjectifs caractérisent le volant : dimpled et leather-trimmed et que dimpled ne caractérise pas le cuir.
