Steering Wheel Question

Are there any aftermarket companies that make a wood steering wheel that will match my Designo Espresso interior? If not, would a steering wheel off an E or S series fit my car?

To my knowledge, the CLK55 only comes with a leather wheel, but I really like the wood wheels I've seen in the sedans. I guess it makes it even more difficult because my color combo is pretty rare.

I appreciate any info on this.

You can try: http://www.american-stitches.com/ams...es/index2.html

They can do any leather including perforated with extra padding and a real wood or a photo process to save some bucks.

Send them a sample or a piece off the car for what you for them to match. If they don't have a core wheel, send them yours for 10 to 14 days or pick one up on eBay for as low as $35.

I liked my clk wheel and might have the e wheel beefed up to duplicate it. I'd probably skip the wood even though the MB wood trim looks good but there is no wood feel with the clear coat on it.
