I'm in need for 2 wheels, so 3+3=6 sets!

I made a few by hand from stainless steel, and for 90 euro for a wheel, I can't do it myself.

Thanks Erik! I have no idea why I have no notification from the forum on my e-mail.

I think I would be able to provide 6 sets still this week if you are interested. Please PM me. :)

I'm looking for chrome half-rings used for genuine classic BMW steering wheel.

View attachment 109567

Parts are used on the spoke corners, close to steering ring.

Are they available?
Maybe someone has some?

Even single top/bottom parts are welcome.

I would be happy with almost any visual condition.
Hello, I have the same problem if you fined more than one let me know I need one for mine

Hi. Sorry. I'm not receiving automatic notification from the forum about the messages (it was working in the past).

I should have more of these over the weekend.

I will be checking my inbox daily, so PM me please for details.

To refresh the topic...

I found the shop, able to make these jewels.

The price would be probably ~$30 (ballpark) for a pair (front+rear)

Is Anyone interested to make the order possible?

Finally the price for a pair will be lower than I have indicated: $20 for a pair. I have some more available.

Set for Erik has been shipped including recent pricing.

I hope he will be able to share his opinion once it will reach his address.

Recieved the part from @Krzysztof today.

The parts are just excellent when comparing them to 4 Nos rear parts I have. Shape is identical, chrome color is perfect. 1 of the 6 parts has a blemishes, but so does the one of the 4 nos ones.

Measured 5 dimensions with a caliper, and all of them are within 0,4 mm correct. I'd call that perfect.

One difference is the nos parts has sharp edges, where the repro parts are a bit more rounded, but that is the backside of the part, so not visible after install.

Conclusion: buy with confidence!

Pictures show 3x2 parts from Krzystof on the left. Bags of NOS parts on the right.

Thanks Erik for your kind words!

I was not aware about the blemish, so I can replace the one by adding one more to the envelope.

No need; its fine as it is. It is not a Rolls Royce after all.

The blemishes are really small, and these parts mount on the backside. In the pic with them on my fingers, left is repro with 4 small points, right is NOS.

Fronts are more scarce by the way then rear parts.

As winter is a great time to make some details look nicer it might be a time to consider upgrade of chrome trim of wooden steering wheel models used in E3/E9.

For bulk orders price can be negotiated separately.
