I've heard this one is very cheesy. Have not seen one but the topic ran on some MB boards a while back.

Cool wood grain steering wheel

Actually I disagree.I bought mine off Ebay about a year ago.Came from Hong Kong within two weeks.For the money,forty-five plus twenty-five shipping,it was worth the money.Some might perfer wheelskins or what not to cover the steering wheel.Couldn't find an OEM burl wood steering for a 93 W124 at the time, so this is a humble substitute.Fits good but will crack if you try to remove it;used a hot glue gun to make it snugger.Being a 29 year live there,Spring,Westbury,Texan go for it.Small investment for the thrills!!

Got mine and LOVE it-completly renews the interior. Great quality, and SUPER fast shipping. Snaps right on also-no modifications. Of course you need a 93 and up steering wheel to use it.

I found a factory wheel like that in an S320 that i put in my 400E and to be quite honest, it looks great but I put my old wheel back in. I didn't like the way it felt grabbing that smoooth wood surface when cornering, it was almost slippery. I'd be up for selling it if anyone is interested, there is one little scratch from a ring or something on someone's hand but besides that it is nice. It was tan, so I dyed the leather black.

A question to the people with these caps: How does the wheel feel? Since it's a cap, it's not completely wrapping around the backside of the wheel, right? I'd like to see some pics of the wheel from the backside with this cap on...maybe like a view from through the windshield. Other than that these caps look pretty nice.

myfirstbenz--pm me with pics and price of the s320 wheel, I may be interested.
