Thread: School me on aftermarket steering wheels

    School me on aftermarket steering wheels

    When I bought my 1970 911T it came with a small collection of steering wheels including the original wheel and a 914 380mm wheel (that I plan to get recovered in RS style thick grip).

    It also came with four aftermarket steering wheels. I would like to know some more about these. If anybody can help with the following it would be greatly appreciated...
    - Are they period correct?
    - Did any of them feature in Porsches at the time?
    - What are they worth?

    Wheel 1: Wooden MOMO marked "MADE IN ITALY M 20340"

    Wheel 2: Wooden Nardi, 365mm, marked "MADE IN ITALY 1-80" - assuming this is a date stamp?

    Dirk, those are all wheels that are about 10 years younger than your car (the Raid may be older), but that's OK. They're all wheels that were commmonly installed aftermarket on 911's in the 70's and 80's, because many of us felt the 400mm wheel was too big for sporty driving. The wood Momo Indy looks to be too small, but the others are fine driving wheels if you like them, with the Raid being the best of the bunch, IMHO. Value - likely $100 to $200 each, in the condition shown.

    Thanks David,

    Maybe you can help a little further. I also have several hubs... any thoughts on the origin/use/value of these?

    Hub 1: Appears to have correct spacing for the Nardi/Raid wheels.

    Hub 2: Spacing appears correct for the MOMO wheel.

    Hub 3: Spacing also correct for the MOMO wheel but diameter at the base of the hub is narrower.

    Well - hub 1 looks like a Luisi (which fits Personal - Nardi- Raid - Luisi), hubs 2 and 3 are Momo. I can't tell you what they fit unless I see the base, though the Momo's look like early and late 914. The application is determined by the cancel ring mount and the depth that the splines are recessed. It's for sure that none of those are for early 911.

    David, Thanks again for the quick response. Pictures of the base for the Momo Hubs 2 & 3:

    I think what you have there is early and late 914 - late is the one with the larger splines. I'm not absolutely sure about #2 - it should have holes for a cancel ring.
