Original AMG Steering Wheel

The AMG “Victor DB-3” steering wheel is a vintage aftermarket steering wheel produced by AMG during the 1980s-1990s, designed to enhance the sporty aesthetics and ergonomics of classic Mercedes-Benz models like the W124, W201 (190E), R107 (SL), and W126 (S-Class). These wheels are prized for their rarity, craftsmanship, and connection to AMG’s early tuning heritage.

Key Features

1. Design:
   • Three-spoke silhouette with a slim, motorsport-inspired profile.

2. AMG Branding:
   • Embossed or engraved AMG logo on the lower spoke or horn button.
   • Some variants include “Victor” branding (a sub-line or collaborator, though documentation is scarce).
3. Technical Specifications:
   • Diameter: 370mm (smaller than stock for sportier steering feel).
   • Hub Compatibility: Mercedes-Benz spline pattern (specific to model/year).
   • Mounting: Bolt-on design with factory airbag delete (non-airbag models).
