Default Re: My New Custom Wheel with Paddle shift

I know that other enthusiasts have made wheel swaps on SLK's and Crossfires using other mercedes wheels. The question is, is there a wheel that is already set up for paddles that does NOT have other wheel mounted switches? (your car AND this kit has no use for any other wheel mounted switches aside from horn and paddles shifters). And, if that wheel exists, is it smaller? (seems unlikely) .

I have seen threads where enthusiasts talk about having there wheel customized (new wrap, new grip shape, squared off at bottom, etc) perhaps one of these wheel customizers could create something that would work for you and others wanting to add the paddles

A good place to look may be a mercedes site like Benzworld .... search for custom wheel or wheel swaps, etc.


I hope someone who actually has some specific, useful ideas on where you should look for this (unlike me : ), can better answer your question. I'm sure many of us would like to know what other wheel choices might be out there.
