I have a VW steering wheel that is definitly original, and is the blue-white color used on other parts of the car. NOBODY has ever seen one of these.
Compared to other steering wheels I have, the paint is applied in the same manner as the factory used, no paint in the horn ring center, and none in the center of the back-side of the hub. Any idea's ?

When you say blue-white color on other parts of the car, what parts do you mean?

There are a number of Beetle steering wheels that came in various colors, often for a limited time period.

Could it be... the mythical Azure wheel?

Could it be the Ice Blue steering wheel used on Sea Blue and Pacific Karmann Ghias?

Could it be a Hydrate green used only for 3 months in 1961??

Pictures would help us identify.

FYI, here is a sample of the different colored steering wheels used on Beetles and Ghias.
