Title: OEM Steering Wheel
Post by: Hans2012 on February 08, 2013, 15:35:12

I decided to replace the Nardi wheel that came with my car with the correct one, which I bought this week from the Classic Center.  FYI -  I was told that my purchase was the last black one in stock in the US.

Was this a black original wheel you purchased? I thought if you ordered the original number the superseded it to the newer 107 chassis wheel.

I gave them my VIN number (January 1971 280SL) and the part number that they sent is 100-464-09-01.  The invoice noted that that part replaces part no 115-464 ....

Thanks John. Does it match the original wheel exactly?

The wheel is an exact match.  The horn ring is the correct matte finish.  (I am told that these are very hard to get, but the Classic Center had it.)  The horn pad looks great but the star emblem in the center is very slightly different than the original in that it is missing a second chrome colored circle around the outer edge. 

I am looking forward to driving my car with an OEM wheel.

John

Be happy, that is exactly what it should be for a 280SL wheel.  :)

This is what I ordered from the Classic Center and prices:

list $458.00
paid $389.30

115-464-05-15 horn ring
list $117.00

The discount is for MBCA members.  I brought the car to work today and am reminded how much I like the OEM wheel.
