Wood wheel

A friend and business associate wants to add a wood and leather wheel to her recently purchased E320. What price should she expect. Dealer wants $705 + $65 installation. That is probably fair but very "retail". Is there a more economical way to buy?

Unless you have a buddy at the dealer that's a pretty good price. Mine was $750 for the wheel with tax and $85 installation. It's a great accessory - go for it.

check out www.performanceproducts.com MM240 just bought one there (albeit for his C) and got a free wood stick shift.
Prices are much lower...install should be the same.

They can do any combination of wood, leather, or carbon fiber.

For what you want they have to be cheaper than the dealer for the same or better quality.
