I agree! Maybe a future GB if you can find these... Both my cars are three-spokers.

hard to believe less than 10 w203 owners are interested so far...
c'mon guys, jump on it b4 u regret...
u'll never know if there'll be another group buy... even if there is one, it will most likely be for 3-spokes...
if my wifey doesn't approve, i can always sell on ebay and at least break even...
don't be a sis and jump on it...
FYI - MP design's ergo steering wheel costs more!

2 open spots!

Anyone else still interested in getting one. Last call!!!

1 person on the list dropped out and one is not responding to emails so I need to fill in those spaces. These will be rare, custom made steering wheels!

Here's pics of the first set that is delivering to the first 6 on the list next week.
I know there's gotta be 2 people itching to have one of these! PM me asap.

I know... l've gotten lots of 3 spoke requests.
I'll see if the manufacturer will ever produce them.

1 available 4 spoke Charcoal w/ Alcantara left at GB price.

Just got my DTM wheel this morning!!!

Group 1 should be getting all of yours today if you didn't get it on Friday or Saturday.

Just awesome craftsmanship. Going to install it when I get home tonight.
Please send back your cores asap after installing these. They need to get started on the second group. 2 Week turnaround.

I will post lots of pics!

Pics of my wheel: It was packaged very well w/ shrink wrap too.
Install took less than 30 minutes.











Sending back my core tomorrow. Remember to write your full name in the package so they can check off that you've returned the core.

Sorry ozoz, same price. $500 usd (including shipping) with any core exchange.

I don't think my SRS stayed on. My key is in the ignition in the photos above but the car is not on. That's why all the dash lights are on.

I'll double check in the morning.

No SRS light on the way to work this morning. But it was like driving a new car with that new steering wheel. Someone mentioned that it's almost exactly like the CLK63 Black Series Steering wheel and it actually is almost identical. I think this one is even better looking though.




So much easier to turn now!

Maybe you left one of the connections behind the airbag loose? You might want to open up the airbag section and check the 3 connections.

You followed the DIY right?
