| Don't know about the wheel, but the horn button is from an Amphicar. It has the Lubeck castle on it, which is where the Amphicar was made (in Lubeck). |

| It looks as if the original splines were drilled out? |

nope, it even has threaded holes on each side to attach a puller. |

| Its a Petri wheel found in late 50's Rometch coachbuilt cars. It is also found in the Stahlgruber catalogue. |

| That style of wheel was used on Rometch cars , yes, but they were also offered as accessories for other cars. |
