Wrinkling the Leather
I've noticed that recently my leather is beginning to form wrinkles, is there a way to make them less visible or get rid of them entirely?? Cheap leather??

The wrinkles in your leather is just a sign that it is wearing in to your usage pattern, sorta like the wrinkles on your face and the creases on your hands as you age. I doubt that these can be gotten rid of but you can make them less visible with a leather conditioner just like "wrinkle cream" for your skin. Mine was showing signs of the same thing and yesterday, I treated those areas and they are less noticeable now. You should condition your leather seats 3-4 times a year, more often in those areas that seem to be "wrinkling" faster than the rest. I've been using up my bottle of "Eagle 1" leather conditioner but I bought a bottle of the Zaino stuff that I'll start using once the other one is gone.
Cheap leather? Probably, but can't say for sure. It definately is thinner than most cars I've owned.

once it wrinkles, it is too late, but you can prevent more by doing leather clean then conditioner.
I use mothers leather cleaner and mothers leather conditioner. I think leather treatment products are mostly similar.

Ditto to what has already been said above.
Like Dave, I'm also using the Eagle one Conditioner, and It is not bad all things considered. With the S, I would be conditioning more than any other vehicle since with the roof down, the seats are subject to UV and other environmental factors. As for the cheap leather, you have to remember that the bolsters aren't even made of the real stuff, and hence the easier wrinkling.
C'est la vie my friend.
