ATIWE AMG Steering Wheel

Description

1980s Original ATIWE Germany • Black Leather • AMG Center Emblem
This listing features an authentic ATIWE steering wheel manufactured in the 1980s for use on early AMG-modified Mercedes-Benz vehicles. The wheel is finished in refurbished Black Leather and features a center-mounted AMG emblem along with four horn pads, one on each spoke. The backside of the wheel displays the original KBA 70005 part identifier, confirming its authenticity as an ATIWE-produced AMG wheel from the pre-merger era.
Originally designed for use on Mercedes-Benz models of the period, this steering wheel was most commonly outfitted on W126 S-Class and W123 chassis, though it can be adapted to a wider range of models using various hub adapters available on the market today.
Authentic 1980s ATIWE AMG Wheel
During the pre-merger era, ATIWE was one of the primary suppliers producing steering wheels for AMG Germany. This wheel retains the classic design elements associated with period-correct AMG interiors, including:

Bold 3-spoke layout

Four individual horn pads integrated into the spokes

AMG center emblem

Stamped original KBA number (70005)

This combination embodies the understated factory-tuning aesthetic AMG was known for before the brand merged with Mercedes-Benz.
Condition
According to the seller, the steering wheel has undergone a full refurbishment, including:

Restored Black Leather wrapping

Refreshed stitching

Cleaned horn pads

Preserved center AMG badge

Maintained original markings on the backside

Post-refurbishment, the leather is reported to be in very good condition, with no visible cracking or dryness. Stitching is described as tight and consistent, restoring the wheel to a ready-to-install condition.
Fitment
This ATIWE AMG steering wheel is compatible with multiple Mercedes-Benz models. It was most commonly installed on:

W126 S-Class

W123 Sedan/Coupe/Wagon

Additional period Mercedes models can also use this wheel with the correct adapter. Many aftermarket and OEM adapters are available to expand compatibility to vehicles such as:

W201

W124

R107

W116

Early W140 (with adapter)

Fitment depends on the hub adapter used, making it versatile for multiple chassis applications.
