    What's the correct size for the 308?

    I had Mr. Gunn recover a Miura wheel 3 years ago. Looks great but the process was VERY SLOW. They had my wheel for 2 or 3 months. May be a faster turn around time now.

    AGLA is local to me, I've heard a lot of mixed reviews.

    Mine was not too bad but I treated it with KIWI black shoe polish...5 coats then 5 coats of Connelly Hyde Food to soften it. It was a 5 and now it looks like a 9.5.

    I was going to use them to refinish the steering wheel in my 308, but decided to have them refinish the steering wheel in my Porsche 944 first to see what sort of work they actually did. As mentioned earlier, it was a slow turn-around -- but, even worse, the quality of craftsmanship was not very good in my opinion (especially considering the price). I'm glad I never sent them the 308's steering wheel. In fact, I ended up finding a matching steering wheel on Ebay in excellent condition to install in the 944, and I never used the wheel that AGLA refinished.

    I got a reply back from Momo, but they were surprised they had ever made a solid spoke Prototipo. It sounds like the solid spoke wheels may have been made specifically for Ferrari. No wonder there are no NOS examples out there. They did say they would be willing to make a run but the minimum number would be 150. I don't think we'd be able to get those kind of numbers for one specific wheel. They didn't answer my question about factory refurbishment though. I asked again and I'll keep everyone posted.

    Just for reference, here is a pic of my old one and new one side by side. The old solid spoke is slightly larger outside diameter than the new one.
