many many years ago i bought a sports steering wheel from autobarn for a bug... all you need is the correct boss adaptor to suit the beetle.

autobarn...had a look at all the usual suspects, supercheap.ect ect,

no white ones.

hmmmm....:grind:

anywhere else?

try a VW shop like the Aust VW perf centre. I'm sure they'd have something or could point you in the right direction.

BTW, why do you want a white one? It will get dirty very very fast. :td:

If you can't find the one you want in white, choose the one you want and I'll recover it in white leather for you.

Look up SAAS on the internet.
Revolution racegear sell all sorts of wheels and seats too.

Mick Motors have wheels from $130 with boss (See page 8-9 VWMA Issue 8).

mooneyes or hot rod shops sell white wheels (i have one) they are standard 3 hole configaration and fit most usa adaptors (flat4,grants) hope this helps.

thanks mate, still looking.

To recover at a saddlery will cost approximately $120. Mines getting recovered at the moment. i could buy a new wheel for that much but it will look like new when done anyhow.
