It may be a real "owner's wheel", but NOT the owner of a 500E. The wheel in the photos is assuredly not a correct 500E steering wheel...it's the same as my '92 300D (and any other '92 W124), which I believe is 400mm.

See attached photo of a 500E wheel, attached to a 500E!

To tell the difference most easily, look at the size of the lower center opening-on a 500E, I cannot fit my clenched fist, which easily passes thru the larger diameter wheel.

I don't know what the deal is, Ricardo...I see the "390" stamp (as on my own wheel), but that's very clearly the larger-rimmed wheel...does the part number match a 500E wheel? Did you purchase a 500E-specific wheel, and did the airbag fit?
