Have you thought of leather wrapping it?  You would have a number of colors available and it would cost less.

If you really want the white wheel, don't forget to get a white shift knob to match.

And the ivory hand brake lever button, oh and the ivory seat lever caps.

I always think it's a shame Mercedes never did an ivory version of the large round recliner adjuster.

We'll have reproductions available in 6-12 months for both the early and late W113 in both colours.
