    "R" Steering Wheel Info Needed

    Curious if anyone knows where a quality reproduction "R" style steering wheel can be had. I know there were some made a few years back but don't know who made them.
    Hopefully a few in the know can direct me.
    Thanks...

    Here are a couple originals, sharp corners caused problems. Repros radius the corners to avoid issues.

    I thought the original R wheels did not have pads at the spokes?? Also, the pics I'm familiar with actually show a full triangle cut in the spoke with a point at the rim and not squared off.

    IMO over time, the later Monza marked wheels with pads were deemed "R Wheels because they looked close enough and the repros latched onto that design. The early Monza wheels had holes in the spokes like the Prototipo and had no thumb pads...

    We need MaMo to weigh in......

    Doesn't help that I believe the factory manual for the 911R shows a Prototipo, LOL....

    Well, don't how I got it in my head but, went through my old photos,,,,,, Of the Rs that still have the wheels with the triangle spokes, yes they have pads, my bad. One or two pics definitely show sharper triangle cut outs which some "might" be points and not squared off.

    So, y'all can just ignore me, I'm just here for the beer. LOL.
