Steering wheel construction and finish

The steering wheel structure has been designed for precise handling and a stable grip in typical road conditions and during dynamic driving. The rim is covered in black leather, which provides a pleasant-to-touch surface that is resistant to typical wear and tear and easy to keep clean. The carefully selected rim profile promotes a natural hand position, and the appropriately chosen thickness of the rim improves vehicle control.

The visual finish of the steering wheel is consistent with the character of the Mercedes C117 and W176 models – it maintains the factory styling while giving the interior a more decisive, modern look. The black color facilitates integration with most upholstery configurations and dashboard elements, making the steering wheel blend well with both light and dark interiors.

Functionality and paddle shifters

An integral part of this steering wheel are the paddle shifters, which allow for convenient control of the transmission without taking your hands off the rim. The placement of the paddles has been chosen to ensure quick access in various hand positions, which improves ergonomics and the precision of responses to driver inputs. This type of solution is particularly beneficial in everyday city driving and during dynamic acceleration on the road.

By maintaining the factory control concept, the steering wheel is prepared to work with the vehicle systems intended for this generation of models. The appropriate arm geometry and the arrangement of functional elements promote intuitive operation and reduce the need for the driver to change habits after replacing the steering wheel.

Condition, remanufacturing process, and preparation for installation

The product is offered in remanufactured condition, which means it has undergone a controlled renewal process while maintaining rigorous quality standards. This includes, among other things, verification of the load-bearing structure, refreshing the leather surface, and checking the correct operation of functional elements such as the paddles. This method of preparation allows for obtaining a visually attractive and technically refined component, ready for further use.

The steering wheel is prepared for installation as a replacement for the factory component in the appropriate versions of Mercedes models. The use of the original design concept facilitates fitting to the steering column and other system components, which promotes efficient service work in a specialized workshop.

Application in Mercedes models and benefits of replacement

The presented steering wheel has been developed for use in Mercedes vehicles from the C117 and W176 series, where it can serve as a replacement or upgrade component. Replacing a standard steering wheel with a leather version with paddles allows for a more advanced driver environment, improving steering precision and the tangible quality of contact with the vehicle.

Key benefits of installing this steering wheel include:

• a more secure grip thanks to the leather rim finish,
• better ergonomics of transmission operation thanks to the paddles,
• cohesive, modern interior aesthetics in line with the Mercedes design language,
• the ability to refresh the cabin without interfering with the body structure.

Selection, compatibility, and additional information

When selecting a steering wheel for a specific vehicle, it is worth paying attention to compatibility with the car's equipment and steering system configuration. The product has a dedicated OEM part number and associated interchangeable numbers, which facilitates compatibility verification based on service documentation or the VIN. Additionally, product identification in the store's offer is supported by the assigned SKU.

Information about the condition and color parameters, such as color, allows you to match the steering wheel to the user's expectations in terms of visuals and functionality. In case of doubts regarding installation or selection, it is recommended to contact a specialized service center that will verify compatibility with the specific vehicle configuration.
