AMG did a steering wheel, but I suspect you will still regard it as too large. There was a Momo wheel supplied with Sportline w124s which should fit but, again, you will probably consider it to be too big. In both cases I think the diameter is only 10mm less than the standard wheel. I am sure it is possible to fit an aftermarket, smaller wheel, but these things rarely are an improvement. My concern would be that a smaller wheel will make the steering feel too heavy and obscure the instruments.

If your car is non airbag, would this do?







I bought it for my 500 SEC, but I don't think it suits it.

It's brand new and real leather; you can have it for 40 quid plus postage.

Regards,

James
