What color wood grain are you looking for? I have an aftermarket wheel on order, and when it arrives will be selling my OEM wheel. It's from an '03 E500. My wheel has the black birdseye maple

What color leather do you have? I have a 2-tone interior - Ashe leather with a darker upper dash/steering wheel. You may need to rewrap the leather if it doesn't match. Still interested? My new wheel is not due for 5 weeks as well...not sure if you're in a rush.

Sounds like charcoal? which is pretty commonly ordered. My color is pretty uncommon. Lemme know if you're still interested. I'm not sure how much it will cost to re-wrap a steering wheel, but you have 5 weeks to decide.

No worries. Regarding the CLS wheel, make sure your airbag fits in his wheel before buying

djrabbi - you have me confused too. i thought you wanted the CLS wheel.

gratefulgecko - I haven't thought of a price yet, but under $200 for sure. Does the color combo work for you?

I wouldn't know the price until I have the wheel boxed up, and taken in for a shipping quote. I would just pass on that cost to you.

What about the different leather color? You're OK with that now?
