How much are you planning to spend on it? just for your interest , if you are not trying to spend a lot , there is good wood steering wheel covers on ebay for about $40,$50 bucks, which are made with good quality, that stick to your steering wheel very well, easy to apply, and gives your interior a great look as well ! here is a link to check them out

A steering wheel cover is probably your best bet IMO. I even got a wood steering wheel cover on mine and honestly it made it a lot more comfortable (softer and fatter luxurious feel)

That's not bad! I might just go for it. Does anyone have pictures of it installed?

Wood steering wheel update

I purchased a wood steering wheel from ESP in North Hollywood (866) 981-4929) for a landed price of $355 here in Seattle. So far I think that it is a great addition and has a great feel to it. The color match to my E430 Mushroom interior is excellent. I don't know how to post a picture off my computer so a mediocre picture is located on eBAY.....Just request "Mercedes 210 wood steering wheel" in auto accessories there.

wow, I surprisingly like this as well and looks like a nice OEM addition to the interior. How is the install.....fairly straight forward?

Steering Wheel install

Since I took apart a steering wheel on a Cadillac one time and it ended up having 47 parts in a 3" run, I decided to have a mechanic install it. He said it took him all of 20 minutes to install it with only 4 wires and a couple plates. The worst thing about the install was that he was required to (New law?) clear the ECU of all of its information in order to safely get the air bag off. The good news is that it runs REALLY strong now since the lolligaging driving history has been removed. The bad news is that all the windows, seats, sun roof, etc all have to be reset. The windows and sun roof just barely worked when I got it back and each has its pattern to reprogram it.
The steering wheel feels so different that I am having to change the arm motion to steer it.
