A $5000 steering wheel

We help a customer change the SL65 "regular" AMG wheel into a SL63 030 package 3 spokes flat bottom wheel, bottom piece was removed to make carbon conversion matching the rest of the carbon interior! Oh Yes, this is a very expensive steering wheel out there!

Yes you are the only one. Congratulations. You win a $5000 steering wheel from DCT Motorsports, all you have to pay is shipping, handling and installation (approx. $5000 plus tax).
