The original is not made of real leather, mine are.

Ivan, do you know if the OEM wheel could be adapted to fit on a Nardi/aftermarket steering boss?
I need to add a spacer to make the car more ergonomic to drive (for autoX and stuff), and I'm still undecided between presenting the OEM wheel on a wall and using a Nardi wheel, or adapting the OEM wheel for use with spacers/quick-release/whatever steering boss/hub.

Only if you dare to weld on it. It doesnt have a hub/wheel like aftermarket wheels, the hub is integrated in the steering wheel.
That being said: it is just a piece of metal, it can be worked on.

I was contemplating to buy a second OEM wheel and modify it instead of buying a Nardi or something to attach to a Nardi style steering boss/hub and use spacers/extenders that way to achieve optimal driving position. I guess that's what I should do then.
