 |
|
This wheel is so ugly yet so beautiful and unique, its called 'Rob Gran Turismo'. Extremely rare as I'm told it didn't sell very well. Does anyone have one in their collection? Please no responses with 'No I don't but I have this' Petri (nice but so common).

It's still a great looking wheel, but I like it better without the plating and with the original gold (brass?) accents at the ends of the spokes. They really add a lot:

The brass ends is how it came originally, I wouldn't wanna mess with the originality of the wheel though... There was a leather wrapped version of this wheel as well which I don't really like.

It's rare that anyone gets one up on me with a steering wheel, but I have never seen that one before. Very interesting.

Just an update, just realized the brass is not actually how it comes, the only reason it's brass is because the chrome has worn off almost completely from years of use and polishing!..gotta love that patina.
