I would like to get a new steering wheel for my car if I can find one at a good price since the leather is a little shiny and the shift buttons on the back are sticky. The only place I've found any for sale is on eBay from seller: qalbeli and their eBay store is called AGE Styling. I'm wondering if anyone has bought anything from them before? They are located in Sweden, but they say in the listing the steering wheel is a genuine MB part and even list the part number.

If I were you, for the amount of money those are (659 and 725, both with 60 shipping), I'd just get your current one redone to your exact liking and pocket the difference.

I forgot to post the link to the one, but the C55 wheel they had was like $400 plus shipping. List price is like $1200! I don't want to get it redone, it'll never look factory and I like the way the factory wheel looks. I haven't decided if I want to do it yet or not.

I haven't personally bought from them before, but have heard nothing but good things about them. FWIW

Yes, it would, if you told them to make it look factory. What's wrong with better looks/thicker rim/better quality leather than factory for less money?

I've never seen aftermarket leather that ever looks as good as factory. I don't know where the less money is either, all the modified steering wheels I've seen for sale are around 1k. I don't want a thicker rim either, then it's more difficult to get a good grip on the wheel.
