Help Identifying Steering Wheel

alexelliott · 31-03-14, 11:25 PM

Hi, can anyone shed any light on this steering wheel? Is it ITALVOLANTI? I can't seem to find any photos of this italvolanti style with the audi logo.

Thanks, Alex

yes it is an ITALVOLANTI nice wheel too is it taped up cause the leather is in bad shape??

Yes it's on my vw caddy mk1, it came on the truck and I haven't taken the tape off but I assumed it was damaged, I do like the wheel though so was thinking of buying one the same, or seeing if there was any possibility of a repair

any good leather man should be able to repair that.
Sometimes, it's cheaper to look outside the automotive world to get repairs done. I had an old steering wheel repaired once by a lady who specialised in leather jackets and I know someone had theirs done by somebody who's day job was leather upholstery for chairs.

Thanks I will look into it, am I right in thinking this is quite a rare wheel? I can't find any elsewhere online, am I just looking in the wrong places?

Can anyone give me an idea of age or models it would have been on?

It was a period option for any of the audis in the 80s , mostly on B2s, there was a couple for sale recently , they mostly pop up on ebay in the states and in germany , they are normally cheaper to buy from the states , they pop up on forums at times aswell for sale ,, the 4 spoke version seems to be the most sought after , a 4 spoke one in mint condition just sold on ebay for 249 dollars, thats the highest ive seen one go for in a while, if you cant find them onlinetyour looking in the wrong places is right lol

Ah cool, yes I have seen a few of the four spoke wheels with audi branding on them but have yet to find even a picture of a 3 spoke audi branded wheel like this, i have looked through completed listings on various ebay sites as well as forums. Do you have a link to any threads/ listings of a wheel the same as this?
