Incorrect, this is an exclusive option wheel, not related to federalization. Sorry i'm a bit of a freak on exclusive options. Here's an image from the Saudi 959. You can't see from my photos but here you can see the detail of the exclusive leather details. A shame that whoever ordered the 959 that MacNeil currently owns couldn't have been more creative with coloring or contrasting of the leather options instead settling with a uniform gray motif. According to the Porsche museum, the Saudi 959 was the only vehicle in Porsche history that did not use the Porsche crest on the hood, wheel caps, steering wheel and gearshift, instead using a custom logo from the Saudi Royal Family. Board approval was required at the time, and this will almost certainly never happen again.

The one I liked was the Texas cattle rancher that sent a few of his hides to have the interior of his Porsche done with leather from his own cows.
I am guessing if you are Saudi Royalty you have a decent amount of disposable income.....
