Is it an accessories or does it come from a car? Some Alfa Romeo have wonderful original steering wheel.
Nice one 
It s a standard wheel from 70s alfa romeo giulia super,
you also got them in black.
My mate is into old alfa s and he had one laying around.
Had to dril new holes in the wheel to fit a beetle boss.

It s kinda like a nardi only it s thinner.

I put in thousands of miles behind this wheel in my '66 before I switched to the Flat-4 Empi copy.

The wheel came with a textured black plastic horn button.  I had a friend turn the horn button on a lathe to make the hole bigger then we modified a reproduction Oval horn button and fitted it to the wheel.  It wasn't easy as the plastic was flimsy and kept coming out of the chuck on the lathe.  It looked nice when we got it done.  It is a nice wheel with the leather covering.  Someday I will make a table out of it.

i love shitty grants.
not so much quality there.....mmmm i mean no quality at all... Cry
but they are so cool... they are "THE WHEEL" because in common immagination, in graphics and icons, and every time people design a steering wheel...the shape is grant. wonderful shape, conic (so deep on 10 inches one), easy to keep in your hand...
and then...what kinda wheel did you grab when you were a little child playing on the little jouster cars-toys at luna-park? answer is 
only one: grant.
a friend of mine put an all black spokes one on his mexico beetle some days ago. it s wonderful...so seventies.

i like motolita too: they are all wonderful....but i have a predilection for model with black leather and satin spokes. just like works rally mini coopers.... just wonderful on a bug with padded dash and black vdos!!!!
quality is in this case the top!!! Cheesy

This is my favorite, Formuling France and the wheel in my car. Found by my wife on e-bay NOS for 60 bucks in 2006.

Dean, that orange dash ROCKS! Well done. Of course, I'm slightly biased for obvious reasons.
