VDM, Nardi, Moto-lita.....expensive toys....i was lucky enough to have a Moto-lita wheel in the Porsche when i bought it almost 7 yrs ago....

They look so nice in the cars too....<ul><li><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;sspagename=ADME%3AB%3AS S%3AUS%3A1123&amp;viewitem=&amp;item=220221448760" >http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;sspagename=ADME%3AB%3AS S%3AUS%3A1123&

Default that is absolutely correct. They were a very popular option that dealers>>>

sold when the car was being delivered. So those "original" wheels that were manufactured for the period are really history pieces. There is only two car manufacturers that still do this (in the mainstream market) AFAIK are Mercedes and porsche....thing is, even those are not too far from the OEM look.....

Default As I read it, the metal wheel itself should be original. With the wood replaced.

I'd clarify before spending $2800...
