Question about original 914 steering wheels
I own a 1973 914-4.
How many different kinds of steering wheels were available for my car from the factory?
Like an idiot, I let the mechanic I used convince me to replace my factory wheel with a nice MOMO wheel. It looks nice, but it's not original. I have since purchased another original, and am curious about whether there were more than one option at the time.

I don't recall any options for OEM steering wheels. Every stock steering wheel I've seen, including the one on my original '71 914-6 looked the same, though the 6 wheels had more splines on the column than the 4 because it was a 911 column.
The only one I remember that looked different was a very early euro model 914 I drove that had the Wolfsburg logo on the wheel instead of a Porsche crest because it was a "VW-Porsche".
