i have a decent wheel that I can probably sew a wrap on and refinish the spokes...justthe center horn assembly doesn't go straight; it's like 45 degrees off from the wheel spokes and no matter how I try to screw it on it ends up off.
The thing is ugly too...so I saw a wheel once that was a stock wheel with a round center cover. Is there any wheel I can use without getting a hub? or it there anything I can do to the stock wheel to make it work and look better? Not too concerned about a horn; have another push button on the dash. Thanks |

Super beetle and 356 c and sc have the same splines on the hub that mounts to the steering shaft. So, they fit with no hub.
That opens it up a bit for shopping. You can also get a grant wheel... Rich Attached thumbnail(s)

The grant has a splined hole that bolts directly to the 914 hub? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) Is that a Grant above? looks like a Nardi...and it looks like you have a different hub. |

My wheel has a momo hub its a motolita copy.
Look on ebay...made and sold in Japan. The 356 C and SC, not the A or PreA have the same splines on the steering shaft. The wheel fits no hub... You will need to figure out blinkers and see if they hit... The thing to think about is this. Take off your wheel, turn it over...look at the part that is riveted onto the wheel...that part can and does come off the wheel. The same part is on a late beetle wheel (cheaper to get) That part allows you to buy ANY wheel...that is your hub. BTDT many times with wheels for 356 or 914 cars. Drill out the rivets, machine the next wheel to accept the part. Rich |

Early 911 has the same splines too, but the wheels won't fit.

QUOTE(Todd Enlund @ Oct 3 2008, 08:54 PM) Early 911 has the same splines too, but the wheels won't fit. Yes, it will. The only difference is the tapered plastic piece that attaches to the back of the wheel. It is made to adapt the 911 wheel to the VW column. All you do is take off the 911 cancel cam, and replace it with the tapered plastic piece. Been there, done that! |
