    Hate to have that wheel crumple on a hard turn. Those holes must have been made for weight reduction. If I had it it would be mounted on the wall not in a car. Just mho
    Currently:
    67 3.6 Rocket "Silver"
    62 T6 Outlaw Coupe "ole Yellow"
    65 F100 Custom Cab Flairside Shortbed

    Gone but not forgotten in last 2 years:
    67S Concours King
    67 912 Vintage Racer
    68 912 Flipper
    83 911SC
    93 Mo30 968

    too many cars before that

    Early S Registry # 787
    R Gruppe # 551

    I think that would be a safety feature to collapse the column and help absorb impact. Airbags are a lot softer.

    check out the 74/75 RSR - Olin is most likely correct the diamond holes in the picture below are probably safer ....

    The early wheels was centered, not as the later off centered. I have by people who usually know what they talk about that the RSR had standard steaing wheels, without things that added weight. Hard to tell from the picture but I think your wheels looks off center.
