I had a VDM 380mm, 914 347 809 00, 7/74, 914 steering wheel recovered and restored the vintage hockey puck horn button with a 92 mm embossed leather disk.

The newly wrapped steering wheel diameter is now 382 mm.

Thanks to Carl K. for making the steering wheel available, @ValcoOscar for restoring the spokes and sourcing the steering wheel wrap guru. Special thanks to Bill H. for the rare, vintage, raw hockey puck horn button from his collection.

Exactly, I am looking for the same treatment to one of our wheels.

Nice! The more I look at Momo wheels and stuff the more I think I'll just get my stock one wrapped nice and thick. That looks amazing. Wish my car had that style wheel.
