The AMG Momo M38 steering wheel is a coveted vintage accessory from the 1980s-1990s, produced during AMG’s partnership with Momo. Wrapped in signature grey AMG leather, this wheel offers a sporty, period-correct upgrade for Mercedes-Benz W124, W126, W201, and R107 models. Its minimalist design and ergonomic grip reflect the era’s motorsport-inspired tuning ethos.
