ATIWE Premerger AMG Steering Wheel – Blue Leather
This authentic ATIWE Premerger AMG steering wheel was originally manufactured in the 1980s for use on a variety of AMG-modified Mercedes-Benz vehicles. ATIWE produced several performance-oriented steering wheels during this era, supplying components directly to AMG prior to the Mercedes-Benz merger—making pieces like this both historically significant and increasingly difficult to find.
Finished in blue leather, this wheel features the classic four-spoke ATIWE/AMG design with four integrated horn buttons, one on each spoke. The center section showcases the Mercedes-Benz star emblem, and the removable horn pad provides access to the internal wiring and mounting hardware. The back of the wheel displays the original KBA 70005 part number, confirming its authenticity.
The seller reports that the wheel has undergone a complete refurbishment, including restoration of the leather finish, stitching, and touch surfaces. The blue leather is described as being in excellent condition with no noticeable wear after refurbishment. The stitching has been refreshed to match original specifications, and the horn buttons remain fully intact.
This ATIWE AMG wheel is compatible with several models, including the W126 S-Class, R107 SL/SLC, W116 S-Class, and W123 chassis. Steering wheel adapters for other models are also widely available, making fitment possible across a broader range of Mercedes-Benz vehicles from the era. Due to its period-correct style and AMG association, this wheel serves as an ideal upgrade or restoration piece for anyone seeking the authentic premerger AMG driving experience.Detailed Product Description
During the premerger AMG era, premium aftermarket suppliers such as ATIWE were responsible for producing distinctive upgrades used by AMG on performance-focused Mercedes-Benz builds. Steering wheels from this era share a recognizable design, with robust ergonomics, high-quality leather, and period-correct stitching patterns that match AMG’s bespoke interior styling of the time.
This example is finished in blue leather, a rarity compared to the more common black variants, and is particularly suited to interiors found in higher-spec W126 and W116 models with matching or contrasting leather schemes. The four-spoke layout delivers a substantial grip profile, and the placement of the four horn buttons—one per spoke—follows the period design used on many tuner and motorsport-influenced steering wheels throughout the 1980s.
The wheel’s refurbishment ensures that the leather feels soft, clean, and free of cracks or fading. The stitching has been restored to factory-style tightness and alignment, maintaining originality while providing a like-new presentation. The horn pad, featuring the Mercedes-Benz three-pointed star, is removable and allows convenient access to the wheel’s internal structure and wiring configuration.
Engraved on the back is the original KBA 70005 stamping, which provides verification of the wheel’s authenticity and manufacturer origin. The overall construction features the sturdiness expected from ATIWE components, known for producing high-quality steering wheels designed for performance driving.
Fitment versatility is a key advantage of ATIWE steering wheels. While originally used primarily on premerger AMG conversions of the W126, W116, W123, and R107 models, adapters are readily available to mount the wheel to numerous other classic Mercedes-Benz chassis. For enthusiasts restoring an AMG-modified vehicle or creating a period-correct build, this steering wheel offers authenticity, quality, and a distinctive factory-tuner aesthetic.
