Steering wheels??
Since the wheel decision is moving along, i'd like some refreshed info on the steering wheels out there??
I remember MP Designs, Kleeman, and I saw RENN's on their site.
What I want is a thicker one (than stock) and I'd like wood (birds eye maple), but that isn't mandatory.
Who has one of these and what did it cost? What does install cost and how long?? Which brand is preferred and why?

MP Design is the best looking one. Looks like a factory part. Its much thicker then stock with a really cool grip, and it also come with the birdseye maple and charcoal leather.

I do agree, but I was under the impression that the Kleeman is the exact same, no? If not, please explain and tell PM prices. I had hear about $1400 for either, is that so?

I am actually about to PM you a offer that a forum member brought up.
And yes, it was quite difficult to find a shop to totally modify a C230 and make it look like a Viper!

I need three more to get in on the buy. It is the MP design aggressive wheel with birds eye maple wood insert. Three more needed for a nice price.

Jangy - can you PM me the cost also? Is it available in the burl walnut wood instead of the birdsey maple for the same price? My trim is walnut and I'd have to hang with that.
