It's got the stitching down the centre exactly like the 2nd picture. It's surplus to requirements as there's a 370mm Prototipo on there now.

I have one on my Turbo that I had thought about changing back to standard. I'm fairly sure it's a 964 Clubsport wheel but will check when I'm back in front of the car tomorrow evening.

Could be the one, it was often seen on turbo's. In the US they called the wheel the 930S.
cheers, Mike.

Got really lucky today. I went to Aircooled Winterfest, which is a autoshow for mainly aircooled VW's and there I got this Momo.

Thinking of fitting a replica 370mm Prototipo, should I go for a flat or dished wheel?

What can I say, 2017 has started pretty good for me. After finding the Monza last weekend this weekend I got lucky again. At least that's what I think. I got this old prototipo. I just love the patina on this one.

Just checked this evening and it's actually a 993 RS wheel manufactured by Momo that I have installed in there

Padraig,

Thanks for the PM and checking. Worked out for the best in the end, I have two wheels on ebay as potential candidates then happen ask ask my local independent when I was in today checking on my car. In a disused storage container underneath old files he found this for me. Quick clean tonight and it's as good as new, he thought it had only been on a car for 4 or so month before the previous owner had swapped it out and it had sat there ever since. Deal agreed. :cheers:

I'm totally with you on the patina remark. If it hadn't been 32cm i would have bought it right from under your nose... :lol:
Btw, it's a bit confusing to see you are from the Netherlands as the seller was Dutch but the steering wheel was shipped to the US at January 14th or 15th? :? From whom did you buy it?

@ Darren65: i haven't been on here for a while so i missed out on what showed up here. Reading over it, i came to realize that i did indeed reach out to you about the reproduction monte carlo button. Since you didn't seem to get any leads on that matter, i suppose there are no actual plans yet to tackle that subject? Congratulations on that 36cm prototipo, i remember talking to the owner when he inquired on the pelican after value for what he had. While trying to give him an accurate as possible value for the whole people started throwing out numbers at him. 500$ for the button, 4000$ for the set... The guy had no idea what he had when he first threw it in the open.

To feed the picture hunters, here is a 38cm momo sebring i recently acquired...
