Premerger AMG modified vehicles have become highly collectible. By that same trend, so have the parts which are becoming more rare by the day, as if they weren't already difficult to find. This Italvolanti steering wheel is one of the must have parts to complete a proper 80's AMG car. While driving down the road these cars can be easily spotted with aggressive AMG body kits and wheels, possibly blasting your favorite 80's hit with the windows down. On the interior, there were less obvious options aside from Recaro seats, extended wood, and of course, a proper AMG steering wheel. While Italvolanti did offer these wheels for other manufacturers, this one was specifically for AMG with the raised premerger "AMG" script across the center. No matter what old school Mercedes muscle car you've got, this steering wheel can spice up the interior in all the right ways.

@DW168 The current hub might fit a r107. There are r107 hubs available online for these steering wheels.Nice wheel...assume there is no adapter available? For a 76 R107. Thanks@AE1728 I'm not sure if the current hub will fit a w201. The hub can easily be replaced.Will it work on a w201?$100 bid placed by @Boberto
I have two of this exact same steering wheel that I know are authentic. The leather on both of my steering wheels is much smoother leather - the grain on your steering wheel is very pronounced. On the back of my two steering wheels, the stampings from Italvolante are K.B.A.70042 and ati-4 which are different from the stampings on your steering wheel. The shape of the AMG letters are different on my two steering wheels vs your steering wheel. Also, the date of your wheel is 1986. This style of AMG steering wheel by Italvolante for AMG was a Gen I 81-85 version that was replaced by the Gen II AMG steering wheel made by Momo that was used for both W124 and Gen II W126 cars. I have seen similar steering wheels as this one on eBay that also have a K.B.A. 70027 stamping. IMO, this is a legit Italvolante steering wheel but not an original AMG steering wheel that was recovered and the center pad embossed with AMG letters. Finally, the correct hub has 500x right side up and upside down next to each other. Very nicely reproduced steering wheel, though.
