Construction and materials

The steering wheel belongs to the Steering wheels and horn buttons category, meaning it has been designed as a component that works directly with the factory steering column and airbag assembly. The upholstery is made of black leather, which translates into durability, abrasion resistance, and ease of cleaning. The applied Alcantara-style finish improves friction between the hand and the rim, which facilitates confident vehicle handling in all conditions.

The rim profile has been adapted to the character of the AMG version – it provides clearly defined grip zones and stable hand support. As a result, the driver receives clear feedback from the steering system, which is particularly important at higher speeds and during precise maneuvers.

Functionality and paddle shifters

An integral part of this steering wheel are the paddle shifters, which allow for manual control of the automatic transmission without taking your hands off the rim. The placement of the paddles has been optimized for ergonomics – they are easily accessible with a standard grip, which reduces driver reaction time and improves vehicle control.

This solution is particularly beneficial for users who expect more direct influence on gear changes, e.g., when overtaking or driving on winding sections. The paddles work with the vehicle's factory electronics, ensuring consistent operation with other onboard systems.

Condition, origin, and fitment

The offered steering wheel is a remanufactured component, meaning it has undergone a professional refurbishment process while maintaining the quality standards specific to the Mercedes brand. The rim and upholstery have been refreshed to ensure an aesthetic appearance and comfort of use, while maintaining a construction consistent with factory solutions.

Thanks to the use of an original steering wheel base, proper fitment to the steering column and compatibility with factory interior elements are maintained. This solution allows for the replacement of a worn or less visually attractive steering wheel with a sporty AMG version, without interfering with the vehicle's structure.

Benefits of installation in Mercedes C117, W166, W176

Installing this steering wheel in Mercedes C117, W166, or W176 models allows for a significant increase in the perceived quality of the interior. Black leather combined with Alcantara-style trim creates a cohesive, sporty accent that blends well with the factory dashboard and center console elements. The driver gains a more precise grip, and the paddle shifters increase vehicle control during dynamic driving.

This solution is particularly attractive for users who want to combine the comfort of daily use with a sportier driving character, without the need for costly interior reconstruction. The refurbished base provides a favorable price-to-quality ratio while maintaining a high level of functionality.
