You may want to consider going to some of your local leather or car upholstery shop and seeing what their estimates or recommendations are. The problem you are describing should not be that expensive to fix.
Did you ever end up finding a solution?

I was unable to find a specialized local shop so far. Still looking.

Use a hair dryer (carfully..!!) to heat up the spot, and than use a good leather conditioner.
If this doesn't help, you have to live with it, I'm afraid...

What if I just use the wheel heating instead? The car has this feature.

Not going to work, not enough heat on the spot you want it..
Are you sure it's a leather wheel?
From the picture it looks rather more like a rubber/plastic kind

It has to be. It feels like leather on touch, and it has stitches and everything. Also, the specifications say "Premium Wrapped Steering Wheel" and I imagine that should mean leather-wrapped.

I use products from Mother's and they have always been great to me. Also there is a company called Furniture Clinic that have local agents which will help you so that you can buy the right stuff or get them to sort it out for you. They do leather sofa repairs etc and they are on Facebook etc.

OP is in Lithuania...:shrug:
I'm too afraid to make it worse, so I would prefer it to be handled by professionals.
Anyway, so far I was able to find only these guys locally:
http://www.odos-restauravimas.lt/vair371-aptraukimas-atnaujinimas-galerija.html
Their website is basically just a series of galleries, lacking any detailed verbal information, but judging by the photos they might be able to help. According to their "about" page, restoring car leather interior is their main line of work.

I would then go and speak with the local leather sofa seller/shop. They will have a phone number for a repair agent they will use for customer service problems. If the repair agent can see the problem, then I am sure that they will either fix or explain how to fix the problem.
