What's wrong here Options

For what it's worth, here's my 2 cents. I keep a couple of mid-late 1970's Super Beetle steering wheels for the rollers. They have the same spline pattern as 914 OEM wheels. After all, our cars did come with numerous parts that were not all Porsche production. These VW wheels are mounted to a 74 and 76 steering shaft. One wheel is complete, one is naked. But between the four pics you can see well, how they mount. They will mount and accept the washer and nut, however the gap is almost identical to the aftermarket wheel's hub. The complete VW wheel has the canceling ring mounted as well (they use the same canceling ring as our cars). BTW, that is not meant to be a spcer, as someone mentioned earlier in the thread.
One of the major differences between our OEM wheels and many VW wheels, is the depth of the dish, so we have shorter hubs than the VW's do. Their wheels are flatter, and of course this aftermarket wheel is completely flat, ergo a very deep hub. Another difference is that a VW wheel has a flat bottomed hub that sits flush against the steering column and switches; like this aftermarket hub.
Our OEM hubs are recessed and all come with a skirt to cover the infamous gap. Early hubs are deeper with a longer hub and metal canceling ring. So in the last picture you can see an early wheel (9/1970) mounted to a 75 hub. The spline patterns are the same. This difference, is in the depth and design of the rear of the hub. The early hub and protruding metal canceling ring does not let the wheel seat far back enough to install the washer and steering shaft nut. I can't be 100% sure, as I cannot physically inspect the hub, but the aftermarket hub looks like it would fit a Type 1 or Type 3 late VW well, but not a 914. I believe the gap would be present for late steering columns, and perhaps for early as well. It still a nice wheel. though.
