    This is what i say a FANTASTIC NOS piece...

    You should have one in your hand to understand what I mean.....

    You know I'm a Nos-addicted guy...

    But this time, perhaps thank you to the color of the wood essence, I'm really excited....

    Look at the original tag....

    Receiving the ESSES just today, I thought it couldn't get any better than the steering wheel on the cover. But,......my wood wheels are all much darker than the one on the cover of ESSES. Goes for my alu and steel ones.
    Well here is one..........really nice (txs for posting indeed!!), my wooden rim colors are not too bad after all.....

    Keep in mind that mahogany, like cherry and walnut, is a photo-reactive species. The wood naturally darkens over time. This wheel was most certainly much lighter when new.

    Back to the find -- fantastic. Congratulations!
