It's the smaller diameter wheel than the standard Prototipo.

Needed new leather sewn around the edges too... but a good price none-the-less.

I didn't think anyone would want it or I would of offered it up here first. It's the smaller diameter wheel & it needs to be recovered. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Probably could have fetched over $100 on the 911 Pelican board. They are dying for a silver Prototipo.

I paid $200 for a NOS larger one with silver spokes.

Might work good at the track. I drove my car around the block w/ it, came home & took it off. Not only did you need arms like Arnold Schwartzineger (sp), it looked kinda silly.

Be careful buying the smaller wheels.. you cant see the gauges and your forearms will be HUGE if you go to a wide front tire that is sticky. Most guy's want the small wheel until they drive a car with one for day or so... then they complain.

I took a young lady out for a spin in ulf.....my last fun run of the day at a PCA AX. It was all very relaxed.

She started talking (well, yelling) so I started yelling back. Towards the end of the run the course really tightened up.....4or 5 really tight corners.....nearly full lock stuff...that's when I noticed I was grunting with the effort of steering thru this. I have a small wheel
and up to that point I never noticed how hard I was working......Interestingly enuff, it was my fastest time of the day.

BTW, she was a fox and I thought she was having the big O as we pulled off the course....very...ah...vocal. I ain't complaining..... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I like driving with my small wheel, until I need to see the gauges. So, I just ignore them. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Mark,

I got your email and went to your auction and it was closed. He beat me to it.
I would have put that in the blue car. It's about the same size as the Monte Carlo in there and much more period accurate. I was gonna get one like Karl got from Pel Parts.

No biggie, but you coulda got more if you didn't have the buy-it-now. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif)

Anyone know if there's a quality kit out there to recover a Momo?

You guys with the small dia. steering wheels. How small? The wheel on my autocross 914 is 13". I use 23x9-15 Goodyears. The streering is, well, firm...

As far ebay auctions go, tonight I just sold a set of '67 Beetle outer door handles and ignition with matching key. Started the price at $0.99, went for $38.50. Gotta love ebay.

You can buy a "Wheel Skin" they are an exact fit leather cover. You sew them on w/ the included needle & thread. I think they cost somehere around $50.00.

The Pelican and Performance Product Prototipos have black spokes and are a dime a dozen.

The silver spokes are nearly impossible to find.
