    Did not see a date/year stamp on the wheel. I’m no expert but I believe it’s correct for 66-68.

    Just measured the wood wheel. It’s approximately 16 3/4. Just shy of the 3/4 mark.

    Hi Tony,
    Measure it in centimeters. Porsche, like the rest of the world, measured and built things using the metric system...
    Beautiful well. The wood looks like it has been stained darker than the original though. Maybe it's just the light.
    Horn ring is beautiful too... GLWTS

    Conversion of his measurement is 425mm ish. So, maybe a push toward the 68? Also I bet that excellent leather push is the type that was the leather bonded to the foam backing rather than the separate foam spacer. The separate foam pieces tend to disintegrate into dust.

    Yep. Based on this comment, rounded down...

    The first measurement was done using a seamstress tape measure. I just measured again using a wood yard stick. It measured just over 16 1/2. Just a bit over the 1/2 inch mark.

    Sorry for all the confusion. Did not know they came in different sizes. I will try to find the right tool to measure the width of the wood it’s self. Don’t want to add to the confusion.

    It’s a genuine wood wheel.
