New Style Steering Wheel

Okay...I have to admit even though our w208 is a great car the steering wheel sucks. After 50,000 miles the leather is already fading. So, after doing some research I came across this steering wheel and I wanted your guys opinion on this type of steering wheel.

That is the same seller where we all bought halo projectors for our w208s few months back i think. Email him tell him you bought the projectors too from him, he will probably give you a discount

Better looking that the w209 CLK Black Series. If it came in gray I would consider purchasing one, although the price tag is a little steep.

The C class boys did a group buy from him about a year ago and got them for about 450 IIRC.

Sorry guys been really busy lately. I emailed the guy about a group buy and he never responded. I guess he doesn't want to make any money. Who would were only in a recession (Sarcasm)?
