Want a wood steering wheel (dark birdseye)

I have an 06 E500 with the leather wheel.

Does anyone know where to get a wood/leather steering wheel? I need black leather and the dark (birdseye?) maple (looks grey/black) wood.

The dealer said it's $4000 for the wheel. Nuts.

He also said that Performance products makes the replacement wheels. Cost about $900.

Any truth to this?

If anyone can steer me in the right direction, I'd certainly appreciate it.

Thank you

There is a guy selling them on E-Bay for about $300. He'll take $80 deposit and you have to send him your old wheel. Basically, the guy takes a regular wheel and inserts wood. Looks just like it comes from the factory.
