WTB: petri steering wheel

[norma]

Is there a reputable source for petri wheels out there somewhere? I've seen them on ebay but I'm not sure if they're the real thing or not. Is that the best option? I don't see them come up for sale here on the board much. Are there any other sources? Thanks.

I have a 350mm Petri with black spokes available. You can contact me through my email button if you're interested. The main thing to look for is the solid cast hub with BMW Roundel stamped on it. There are also some markings on the backside of the wheel but I'd have to send you some pics. A proper fake would be very costly to produce so I'd be more worried about getting one that is actually in good condition especially if you want chrome spokes. Also be advised that the plastic hub surrounds get very brittle over time. 2 that I've purchased have been damaged during shipping due to lousy packing jobs by the sellers.

As mentioned above, you can find the wheels, sometimes with uncracked hubs, but good luck finding an uncracked hub alone. I took mine off, but if you care about it, you are going to have to buy it together with the wheel.

Chris,

Wrote to your email about the Petri wheel. Let me know if it's still for sale.
