Default I need a couple steering wheels for an 85 and 88

I am looking for a couple steering wheels. Ideally someone here will have (for not allot of money) an 85 vintage 4 spoke wheel in dark Blue, and an 88 vintage wheel in grey green

Paging steering wheels.......

Your first color combo sounds really odd. Venetian Blue does not go with Grey-Green at all. Are you sure you have the right colors?

yup its grey green and the color is either venetian blue or something like it. The paint label is faded.

Honestly it doesnt look all that bad together i must admit. The carpets are a dark silver grey and its not as bad as it may sound. Not my first choice of color, but hey!

Can you post a picture of the car and its interior?

I could imagine a combination of venetian blue and silver-grey, or a combo of granite green and grey-green, but a mix of grey green with silver grey carpet in a ventian blue body sounds totally off. Unless, of course, the car is Frankenstein...

Hey Ryan, I think we might be able to help you out on the 85 dark blue steering wheel. Well, it actually came out of an 84 Euro, but that should be the same as the 85, right? Anyway, they look the same to me (Kevin's FrankenShark is an 85 Euro). If you haven't sourced that one by the end of the day, PM me later and I will ask Kevin about it when he gets home tonight to make sure what we have here is ok and not defective in some way.

Leslie...if Ryan isn't interested in the blue steering wheel I might be. Will it fit an 82?

I have a stock dark blue (navy?) wheel from an 86. It is worn though. I'll let it go cheap ($50) plus shipping. I can post pics if you want.

I have the stock steering wheel from my venetian-blue 88 S4 available. It's in excellent shape other than the horn pad having one broken grommet...

I have an extended hub grey-green wheel which I won't sell, but I refinished and recommend that if you need one, refinish by changing the color.
