    I've noticed 330 GTC's equipped with two different 410mm diameter steering wheels:

    -Black perimeter inlay to hide the rivets, but also has thicker spoke width and orientation.

    -Wood inlay to hide the rivets, and has thinner spokes at 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock.

    IACPFA docs show wood inlay with no mention of black inlay. Photo research seems to indicate GTC's could have come equipped with either steering wheel variation. Is this accurate?

    My car has a wheel with black inlay, but that doesn't mean it wasn't replaced at some point. Thanks in advance.

    The 410mm wheel you've sited here isn't correct for a 330 GTC.

    Thanks for the replies. You've saved me from restoring the wrong wheel.

    I'm surprised at how many black striped wheels I've seen on 330 GTC's. Was there a time when that was the only wheel available as a replacement?

    Chris,

    My take on wheel replacement has been focused more on performance over availability. Larger diameter wheels tend to offer reduced steering efforts.
