real easy to install, there is a large bolt in the center of the wheel and then two screws behind the steering wheel that need to come out. battery needs to be disconnected of course. sick wheel though! if i didn't have my paddles already i'd be interested!

So I assume you remove the two screws from behind the wheel first, which allows you to remove enough of the front to get at the large bolt in the front? Is that right?

What happens with the air bag in the center of the wheel?

If it's like one of my past cars, there should be some kind of spring release to take out the airbag cover & airbag...this gives you access to the center bolt.

Another question for DCT...do those paddles come as part of the wheel?

Someone would make tons of money if they made one with paddles and integrated shift lights.

Integrated shift lights? thats a little much. But the wheel looks great. I don't even use the shift buttons, they are too slow and the gearing on this car is too long. Just mash the accelerator and go!

Price for the C55 steering wheel

We can make this steering wheel for C55/SLK55 for $1050 shipped with core exchange.
C55 all have shifting buttons in the back, this owner made the paddle conversion by himself
Contact us for detail about this steering wheel conversion.
We also hope someone can make the paddle conversion for most AMG models since many AMG owners also want to take the chance modify the button into paddle when buying our steering wheels.
