Has anyone bought steering wheels from these, and are they any good or otherwise.
Many thanks.

Hi,they don't seem to be that good, they want your steering wheel to make it whatever you want, if they don't have a clk steering wheel they send you what they have and then after you have sent them yours they will do it as you describe. It is not a lot of good to me as I will have to maybe have it changed twice at my indi.

IMHO they don't look like an upgrade, rather lumpy and clumsy.
There may be better options on eBay. Perhaps some of the site members have suggestions.

Ah same service as royal steering wheels then. I keep on thinking of changing mine, but the price always puts me off...

J.Sch - pretty sure they can do any shape / any size / any colour

The price puts me off as well, these steering wheels cost more than some road wheels.

Especially if you compare them to a price per wheel, will come out with a nice set of wheels for £1k

Don't really understand why the used units are so expensive... Guess they are rare, but just the cost for what it is just doesn't make any sense.

I found Jack at Royal steering wheels very helpful. He supplied me with a new CLS 63 wheel for my 55 at a very reasonable price and it was OEM!

Jack at Royal Steering Wheels recovered my steering wheel. Highly recommended!!

Jack at Royal Steering Wheels recovered my steering wheel. Highly recommended!!

As a matter of interest how much does a recover cost?

 

[JRH30]

Think it was £110 plus postage but guess it will depend on exactly what you want doing.

Here is a pic of my steering wheel after it had been recovered

He definitely quoted me more, cant remember the exact price but was around the £200 mark

£110 looks good value, £200 not so tempting.

My wheel is looking a little worn, I thought it may freshen up the interior. My problem though I don't want it looking too new.

I asked the company linked in original post, about W169 option - they do neither a shape change (flat bottom), nor a smaller wheel, so basically just a slightly fatter one - not really that appealing, not to me anyway, and certainly not for close to £280 (including interim used wheel) to change up from a nice, clean, nappa leather one I have...

JRH30...that is lovely and symmetrical.
