I am looking for pictures of a Nardi wood wheel on a LWB 911. I will be great if you could post some.

Beauties! I am dreaming :-)
Here's Ruprecht in its current "costume", with a modern 380mm Nardi wood-rimmed wheel.
Had a traditional black-leather, black anodized Nardi with slotted spokes when I first built this car, but swapped it for the wood-rimmed 380mm Nardi shown, an exact reproduction of the wheel that was in my SWB Ferrari.
I loved the look and feel of that wheel in that car. The only difference is the screwed on horn-button retaining ring in the photo at left, as opposed to the slip-on horn-button assembly in the small photo at right, an original Nardi in a SWB. Well, that and the fact that the modern ultra-violet light hardened epoxy coating on the current wheel does not start out yellow, won't yellow with age, nor turn into powdery residue you can easily remove with a finger-nail, like the traditional varnish coating when exposed to sun.

Before it became Ruprecht, my Porsche was a '70 911 T

Great looking! They look better than what I thought on an early 911! Beautiful Ferrari also.
John, you should not have posted that pic of the SWB. I thought I was happy with my 911s. And now this: falling back to that old desire for a SWB...
Keep up the speed!
