 |
|
Good Day! I was able to pick up what seems like an Empi Universal Steering wheel, but the material is some sort of bakelite/resin/plastic that made to look like a fake wood. The small hole nearest to the Horn Button I think was added and did not come with the original holes of the steering wheel. Also some mounting holes for the hub was added also. Did they came out with this kind of material? if not, can anyone help me ID these steering wheel? It's 15" in diameter and the spokes looks like it's made of stainless steel. Thank you!

Thanks kabayan! It's nice seeing a fellow Pinoy here! Nice collection you have there. I also have the Empi Big Button like the one on the right of your picture but in full leather. Love to get a hold of the one like yours. Is your steeringwheel Ring made of plastic also? Mine is plastic that's why I'm asking. The small hole I was referring to was the one closest to the horn button on the second picture. I hope this is a real Empi Universal. I used to have one back in the days but it's made of wood |

These wheels use a grant steering hub but an original GTV hub fits perfect aswell the holes are correct. Some wheel sold thru Empi are stamped Empi on the back I’ve had a few that were not stamped
Here’s an old pic of my earlier collection those wheels are in Europe now

Not plastic but either real wood or graphite faux wood

Thanks for verifying that... so i guess mine is made of that graphite with the faux wood grain. At least I know now that I got a legit Empi Universal |
