Looks like the stock is back to where it should be...

I would like the BS steering wheel on my C55 , emailed them and they told me it wouldn't fit. Thought Kjay has one fitted on his W203 or does it only fit the coupe.

That Black Series 'wheel should fit no probs! It fits the Coupe so should fit the saloon, I don't believe there is any differences there.

Strange thats what i thought. If it fitted Kjays it should then fit all W203's and i don't think the C55 is any different as the wheel that i have fitted on my C200K originally came off a C55. Wonder why AGE Tuning said it wont fit, maybe they don't know themselves. I will check with Richard and Alfie before i commit to it, plus i will need the new airbag as they will be fitting it for me.

AGE are just covering themselves. I think if you were to ask MB they would say the same.
Those airbags come a bit expensive! But Comand Ltd gave me the best price

Thanks. I am waiting for Richard or Alfie to come back to me with price, although forum member is selling this one:

Might be interested in putting it in C55.

You'll still need a new airbag....

I think this is really nice - W204 AMG Wheel.
Would be an interesting project to see if this would work on a W203...

No differences in coupe/sedan. Like WN says - they're just covering themselves.
The only possible issue will be the electronics. Does the C55 have shift buttons, rather than paddles? I'm sure 'if' there were any problems that Alfie/Richard could sort them.
I quite like the three spoke flat bottom wheel posted by Venomous.

Yes and according to Richard they are expensive £500 - 750ish.

Now that is nice, Richard is checking to see if my C55 3 spoke AMG airbag will be compatiable with this wheel. Hope it is then we know that it will fit W203. Thanks for the link.

I think Richard knows this guy, they are used airbags and not always compatiable to the car you want to fit them on. i.e. 209 to W203.

Looks like i am back to the A171 as its the only one that will fit my 2 W203's including the C55. Shame they don't make a decent wheel for 3 spoke A171. Other wheels will cause problems with converting to paddle shift etc.

Yep! Been round that track, non-standard 'wheels create complications with airbag compatibility. It's definitely not straightforward...
