Default Anyone Seen This Momo Wheel?

This Momo wheel came with my car. I cant find a part # or anything about it such as its age or uniqueness. Anyone seen it before? On the left is stamped "Momo" and on the right is stamped "Designed by F.A. Porsche". I dont know if I really like it but it does offer great guage visibility.

Thats a "Porsche Design" licensed wheel to Momo. Thats only the second one I've seen. Porsche design does everything from watches to eyeglasses to wallets, you name it, PD has made it. I think they're cool.

Thanks 993inNC - So this is a "relatively" unusual or rare steering wheel? I cant seem to find anything like it on the internet and I may consider selling it.

hey i know that car - it use to live up here in the NW. A guy from boeing owned it. it had that steering wheel on it 7 years ago as well.
The pd wheel was sold both by momo and porsche design directly + some dealers carried it ((Brumos comes to mind, since i got one thrown in when i bought my 90' from them but never installed it))

I remember I saw this wheel on almost every Momo advertisements about 15 or more years ago. I liked the wheel very much at the time when I was in high school as it is a "Porsche design". I think it's period correct for a 964...

The World Gets Smaller the Older We Get - I did find a Boeing Temp Emp Pass under the passenger seat and he did live in the NW before moving to the SW.

I love your personalized California plates! I'm wondering whether to get some myself. 911URGE is excellent. I wonder if 964URGE is available.

Thats a photoshop version until the actual plates arrive. It was sort of luck it was available to coincide with my Rennlist ID. You can check availability of personalized plates at the Calif DMV Link Here

BTW, You have a PM.

the wheel was first made in early to mid eighties. one of the most expensive momo of that ear. there's also a center pad you can order with that wheel as well.
