Question What's the size on the AMG steering wheel?

what's the outer size on the C43 steering wheel?
is it about 385 mm to 390 mm all around the grip?
anyone measured their steering wheel?

my car ain't here!
so I wondered if anyone knew about the size?

I have a friend whom wants to sell me a CF steering wheel from Carlsson or maybe it was Lorinser, but I dunno know if they are the same size?
If the Lor/Carlsson CF wheel is bigger I wont buy it!
I don't want to put a bus steering wheel on my car!

The grip-part on the upper part on CF-wheel isn't nearly as thick as the AMG steering wheel!
It's the CF that makes me Honyyyyyy!

I've yet to see a steering wheel that works\feels\looks better than a C43 one. Which I have.

I agree... the C43 steering wheel has the thicker part which I love to grip when I am SMASHING in the twisties but it also has the AMG emblem on it which you can't beat Carbon fiber shmarbon fiber...... I'll stick with the OG wheel.

What happened to your car?? Who stole it?? I would recommend you keep your factory fitted C43 wheel and junk all the rest otherwise you end up with a "Pimp My Ride" auto

an airbagring from a shady country came to Sweden and stole lots of airbags/front headlights from newer 5 serie Beemers!
They need the cushions to upgrade their own smashed cars on the black market!
I guess one of these crooked juuurk offs had a C43 and needed an airbag?

I don't like leather steering wheels, that's why I asked about CF steering wheel.

The other steering wheel I was talking about is naked without the front airbag/AMG cover.
So I need to put my AMG cover on.
Only thing that reveals it's not an AMG steering wheel is a tiny patch on the side of the steering wheel saying another tuners brand
