This is a repro Flat4 steering wheel.
The original ones have a Empi logo stamped, not machined like this.

Plus the webs are stainless steel.

In my opinion, the Flat4 name is just grinded as it seems at a lower level than the rest of the logo.

Wouldn’t say flat 4 on the back spoke?

In what material is the outside of the flat4 ones?
Plastic or real wood like the original ones?

They are real wood not graphite like some Empi steering wheels are.  And flat 4 spikes are aluminum.

Thanks for input so far. It’s exactly same as an empi wheel apart from the weird logo on back.

Yes, it is definitly a Flat4 steering wheel with a Flat4 logo. The Flat4 name has been grinded to stamped or engraved Nugget.
