At Long Last

I had been looking to source the correct wheel for my 208 GT4 for months and had nearly given up. I spotted this slightly worn wheel on ebay Italy and snapped it up. When I got the wheel and cleaned it up, my hopes were dashed that it was actually a factory wheel for the GT4, even though it was the correct shape and color. It's date stamped 1983--they stopped making GT4's in 1980.  But there is a silver lining! There was a small faded something on the lower spoke that I thought was a scratch. In fact, it is a faded signature. The wheel is actually an uber rare Gilles Villeneuve Momo. Now I am just happy as hell to have it. And the patina sort of matches the car too. I just need to see to that one rough spot on the left upper rim, which is a bit chapped.

Hello, i have to say that it is a nice steering whee (and rare, last one i sold to UK it was a NOS Gilles Villeneuve for GBP 420)l but i also have to say that is not the correct wheel for your car so the horn button also, I am a kind of steering wheels collector/buyer/seller, with more than 300 steering wheels sold allover the world and a stock of more than 250 wheels, and that includes many Ferrari wheels!!! the steering wheel for your car is not an easy one to find, it´s a MOMO GRITTI 1º edition so no names on spokes just MOMO wrd in midle front, in the back you should found the nrº M 20340 that was Giampero Moretti pat nrº, and also the words made in italy .that is all, if you can see my email give me an hey so i send you a picture of one.The same steering wheel equiped 512 BB 365 GTC4 308 DINO GT4, and some early 308´s All the best with your car. Kindest regards Paulo
