Petri Steering Wheel Question

[bmwm3owner]

Hello,

I have a friend that has a nice 38cm Petri wheel that he is willing to sell for me. It came off a 2002. I believe the horn contacts for the 2002 and the E9 are different. Perhaps the one he has will work if I add a horn ring to the adapter? If there is more involved, does anyone have a Petri adapter for the E9? Any advice is appreciated.

Edit...Sell to me, not for me.

All you really need is the horn contact ring which is available from @Wladek I belive the 02 hub is a bit shorter but not by much. It'll work fine and look great. @JohnP_02 and @Markos are the real experts and can guide you further.

Thank you so much for the quick reply. This is sounding promising....

you want to be sure that the metal plating on the petri spokes is in good visual shape. refinshing the metal can be an expensive proposition. i presume that the wheel is the rubber cover that looks like vinyl ... which most of the petri wheels are

From the photos I have seen, it’s looks like it is in nice shape. The grip does look like rubber, which confirms what you have stated. I guess that means I just need to find a adapter for my car or add the ring for the horn contact?

just get the horn contact from @Wladek - finding an e9 hub can be very time consuming and expensive as they are rarely sold by themselves.

i have E9 (CSL Length) brand new hub/ cover immediately available for sale although I agree that the @Wladek solution is way cheaper.
