Steering wheel I.D?

Post Sat Jun 15, 2013 4:04 pm

Hey guys, does anyone know what this steering wheel is called? It's stamped with a 'Raid' logo but I've not been able to find much on it, is it a cheapy eBay job? The centre cover (not pictured) has a Hartge badge on it, is it from another wheel? Another cheap knockoff? If anyone recognizes it or could give me a guide as to how much I could shift it for, I'd be very grateful.

Bump.

This is the centre cover and horn push, the badge is actually part of the cover and not just a sticker.

There's a clue in the stamp. It's a Raid 'wheel. I had one in my e30 for a while. The cover in the centre was an option. I think you'll find the Hartge badge is actually meant to be road wheel centre cap badge. Is the badge roughly 45mm diameter?? Do a Google image search on "raid type 1 steering wheel".

IIRC I bought mine for under a tenner without the boss, bought a (Mountney??) boss for it and when I'd finished with it sold it complete for £25. I didn't have the centre cover, though.

I'm not 100% on this, but I'm fairly certain it isn't a pukka Hartge-supplied item.
