Not sure how I missed this,
Great wheel!!! Good job Oscar!!

Oscar, I really like the 13.5 inch diameter and I think most everyone that try’s one will like it also. I was shooting for 1.25 thick but with padding and leather wrap it ended up a bit thicker.

Are you padding and what did you use?

Can’t quite tell what stitch you used from the pictures

This was a fun project but I will not do another one. The stitching ( I used the basic cross stitch) took way longer and was much harder than I anticipated. Sore hands for a day or two.

Nice work.

PS - the bumper I got from you looks great, I’ll post a couple of installed pix in a separate thread. Thanks

Thank you for your interest....

I’m currently in the middle of a small chrome bumper run, so once that is done I can consider offering GB on my modified Steering Wheels.

Hey Oscar
Did you forget about my bumpers??

Yes, forgot. I sent you email so you can bring your notchback bumpers to me this weekend.

Oscar

Back at this...now I'm adding thumb rests after modification (340mm dia). More work, but much better feel.

Here is also a Stock size wheel I just refinished for a SoCal member.

4 more in process now.

Wish me luck....

Nice work,,,,I love 370 ??

Oscar,

That is some impressive work. But frankly, I like the stock wheel on our 914s. It doesn't block the gauges, and it adds some extra leverage when turning.

I had a friend who runs a 914 in AX tell me I needed to put a smaller wheel on my car. But he is 6' tall and I am 5'5" tall. So I don't need the smaller wheel.

If it helps you fit better and you like it, cool.

Sometimes it is good to be short.

Wow- Oscar that is a beautiful wheel- well done.

Really nice Oscar

Did you do the leather work or send it out.? Mine came out OK but not great. Not as nice as yours. For those who haven’t done it, the leather stitching is LOTS of work.

I am happy with the leverage provided by the smaller wheel 13.5”. Not a problem effort wise on my 205/15 wheels. If you are running a GT with bigger tires it would be heavier but still OK I think.
