This wheel is rare. Maybe not 310mm-rare, but pretty close. Prior to this, it was installed in a older Porsche 911.
With an almost 40 year-old wheel, you can expect some wear on the leather. Overall mine is in great shape other than one small spot, and years and years of sweat, grime, and conditioner built up on the surface. It will clean up nicely.
Materials used for this restoration:
- Paper towels
- Acetone
- Gloves
- Isopropyl or rubbing alcohol
- Foam brushes
- Fiebing's black leather dye
- Zelikovitz flat/matte professional top coat
- Adam's blog post on his Prototipo restoration
