NARDI Wood steering wheel - anyone?
I've never been a fan of wood steering wheels on anything made after 1972.
That was until I bought the 1980.....I started to think such a look would fit, and then I saw this which solidified the idea with this color combo.

I'm not really a fan of that wheel with the polished spokes, so I stared to look for something else and found the NARDI wheel, this I like:

Before I shell out $300+ to see how this looks, has anyone else ever fitted a 928 with this wheel?

My ex-Callaway turbo came with one when I got the car.....it was the first thing removed. Yuck. Totally did not fit the interior style of the 928. Don't do it.

I may order it anyway since I like it better than the "period correct" boat size wood wheel on my replica cobra.
One aspect of the Nardi I like is the dish, most wood wheels are "flat" which IMO looks cheap.
Of all the hair-brained ideas over the years, this one needs an intervention?
It's always those fine details with you, isn't it?

For what it's worth, I have a Nardi wood rim wheel in my 928S4. It's the version with the black spokes, and I like the way it looks in my all black interior. The car had the stock wheel installed when I bought it last year, but the covering was showing signs of wear. I'd removed the Nardi wheel from my early 911 when I sold it, so all I had to buy was a hub adapter to fit the 928.

Todd is small, we could box him up and red label him to your house, that would keep you busy for a while.

More a 60's British car look in my opinion. One that had a matching wood dash face.
Had a tiny similar one in an early series one Europa, made getting in and out of the car a bit easier. That car was also 3/4-turn lock-to-lock. I always felt like it needed driving gloves. For the 928, I'd put the $300 towards the correct sport or 930-style wheel. My opinion anyway.

The dark wood and black trim.......that got me thinking.
I'm still puzzled that I own a 928 with pin-stripes.

Wood steering wheels are "OK" for the General Lee, but not a 928.

Have one, rocked it for a while. Found that with the high exposure to the sun front the shallow window angle, it got quite hot.... just moved it to a different car.
It's a momo, but close enough...
