i rarely post this kind of thing. but $355.00 for an unrestored and what i presume is merely one of the leather or simulated leather wrapped padded wheels? who knew? i guess i don't need the one i have that much. i didn't check. if the blue light specials have them, i'm going to retire.

That is for a 914-6 wheel, they are popular with the early 911 crowd to use a 911 RS replica. The 911 RS actually used the smaller diameter 914-6 wheel. That's not really a bad price actually.

It's kind of a strange wheel actually, I'm not finding too much on the part number, the date of manufacture is 9/73, but it appears to be a 914-6/911 style hub. If someone could place that from an actual 911 RS instead of just a 914-6 wheel, then it would probably be worth quite a bit more, maybe $1000 bucks. I would have thought the 911 RS would have had a leather wheel, who knows.

Diameter should be the same 380mm if I recall, the hub is different between the 4/6.

I think someone is getting hosed on that deal. A "semi-soft simulated leather" wheel made in 9/73? Don't think it is 914-6 and for sure not 911 RS! Sounds like a basic vinyl/foam 914 wheel to me.

I always look at the Bid History on auctions like this. 74teenr should get a bonus from the seller.

This is getting old... The hub is NOT different between a 4 and a 6. They WILL interchange. All you need to do is to pull the plastic adapter off the back of the /4 wheel, and put it on the back of the /6 wheel. The are splined exactly the same!!!!!!!!!

Then why is there a six specific wheel if they interchange so readily?

On edit: Ok, I found the part number in the auction. Of course it doesn't say whether it's 4 or 6 specific in PET, but at least it's there. So, the winner may in fact have gotten a good ole rubber 914 wheel for $350.

Ok from a guy in the know on Pelican:

The 914s hubs are different than the 911 & 914/6 (recessed). Splines are the same and will go onto the 911 steering shaft but the depth is different.

Turn signal cancelation ring mounting is different. You'll have to drill and countersink holes to mount it for the 911.

The obvious diameter 400mm and 380mm difference between the 911 & 914/4, 914/6.

Another difference is that the dish of the 914/4, 914/6 wheel is shallower than the 911 wheel due to the reduction in the diameter. Once mounted the wheel rim is closer to the dash.

I have seen wheels marked with 914/6 numbers but have the 914/4 hubs. The correct hub is the key to finding a true 914/6 wheel.

Why he wasnt the final two bidding. I am sure it would of gone that high with 74teenr.

Do you think he's a fake bidder just because he has a new ID?

highly suspect. why would he be chasing the bid and fall off towards the end? this one's a stinker in my book. i see an ebay dispute when the winner gets the wheel. i hate ebay.

here is a thread with some pics of the differences in the wheels.

IIRC, i have seen this same acution several times before, or at least the same fotos used.

Most people have a limit. His/hers was $190. I disagree with this being fraud or shill bidding.

New poeple join ebay all the time, are we going to consider them shill bidders everytime???

Also if you look at 74teeners history they are currently bidding on another steering wheel by another seller.

That right there should tell you it was legit.
