Aftermarket Wooden Steering wheel

I am happy to report that I received my 07 SL65 Burlwood Steering wheel from Ecklers and can let everyone know that the quality is first rate and worth every cent of the sale price. I have looked high and low for a German high quality wheel and it was right under my nose. For years I have used Eckler's for my Vette needs and can highly recommend them for Corvette parts and now for Mercedes parts.

SL65 Wooden Wheel!!!!

I have a 2007 SL65 as well and have hunted high and low for a wooden wheel, I went to the Eckler web site and couldn't find it there. I haven't called as yet. What did it cost you?

Thanks

Eckler's appears to be closing out MP design wheels and practically giving them away. I got the last all-leather tip-tronic (molded for AMG paddles) from them a few weeks ago for $461 !! .... it is a very nice wheel. (pic of it in my 2003 SL55 below : )

The OP probably got this
http://www.ecklersmbzparts.com/catal...Product_Viewed

which is also an MP wheel .... it too looks to be discontinued (all gone).

I would strongly suggest you call ecklers and ask them if they have any others as I think this is the last of the MP design wheels.

Cheers,
Chris
