Didn't 64-65 not have the half circle horn ring? Pretty sure that's not correct  |

I have always liked the Formuling France 3 spoke steering wheels. Sort of difficult to find now days. Especially the horn buttons.

We sold those by the truck load at Auto Haus back in the 70's - hard to believe they are all gone. Although they were famous for the stitching coming apart after a few years .... |

I've always been a fan of Nardi wheels. -jeffrey same here, i have a 390mm unit in my car, but it is hard to get that size in leather. i personally prefer the feel and grip or leather and this is my personal favorite, again unable to find one.  |

Here's the one I have in my Oval, a late 60's Les Leston ally and wood. Had the hub fabricated using a Grant part and got a NOS boss from Dee Berg a few years ago. Still have to get a horn button done for it to get the original one proprely fitted. Thinks it looks great! [ Attachment: You are not allowed to view attachments ]

My good friend picked a slightly battered one for £80 on Ebay, mine was £250, but I've seen them for £500 odd, depends on how good it is and whether it has the full boss and horn. My friend's was the wheel only. The boss is going to be another £150 odd. Hope that helps.
Cheers

I like the look of your wheel Isaac. I did the same thing a few times already to my other wheels. I might paint the one I have pictured black or maybe have it restored with real wood. I've done that once but the wheel got stolen  Who ever jacked that wood VDM probably trashed it man I wish I still had it cuz it would be worth ALOT now |
