HELP!!! W215 steering wheel? Possible swap?

What type of steering wheel is this?
Can I install it on a 2002 CL600 and be able to use paddle shifters?
Or, where can i find good price steering wheels that i can fit on to a 2002 w215 and be able to use paddle shifters

I think that's a custom wheel. Its DTM style.

1) that's a beautiful wheel.

2) the button shifters are not as much fun as you think in anything before the brand new double clutch transmissions.

I would keep it.

You can find those on eBay. They are generally stock wheels that are refinished into that style.

The W220 S or W215 CL steering wheels will fit a CL. The buttons will not work unless you had them already. You could try retrofitting them, but I have yet to see anyone successfully do it, even though it should theoretically be possible to splice them in somewhere.

Thanks guys!
I went to ebay to look up the w215 steering wheels but i didnt see any flat bottoms.

So it would be pretty hard to fit the paddle shifters on to a car that never had them correct?
