    Odd request, but does anyone have a photo of a 512/348 Steering wheel on a TR? I can't seem to find one anywhere.

    TIA

    These look really good, especially with the stainless steel pedal/knob which I do have.

    Thanks!!

    The 348 and 512TR steering wheels are extremely close but slightly different. You can only tell when side by side.

    All mentioned all look phenomenal and update the interior without making it look too modern/anachronistic. The 512M steering wheel is NLA (I sourced the last new steering wheel years ago and only listed for sale to placate the family). The fastest and cheapest route is to find a 348 steering wheel.

    Warning the smaller size will make the steering heavier around town/slow speeds. This is easily addressed with better/modern tires and correct pressures

    Btw, there are two types of 348 wheels. The GTS version is slightly different and has the 348 script on the bottom spoke.

    Well, NLA from the factory. There are a few floating around. It’s a lovely wheel. If they didn’t cost 2-3k minimum, I would buy one for my 90s bmw.
