I am looking for some detailed photos of the stitching on the leather that should be on the rim of this Petri.
Ideally like would like to see the type of stitch used and how they went around the spokes. I will then give them to the person who will add the leather wrap.
If anyone could help that would be much appreciated.
Thank you.

You may google “e21 sport wheel”. I looked for about five minutes and couldn’t find any closeups. The wheel used smooth leather and a “euro stitch” in black. The wheel seam was at the 6PM spoke with no visible stitch. Pretty much all BMW wheels from the late 70’s on use this euro stitch, so lookup any e12/e24/e28 wheel to get examples.

There are many examples on bmw2002faq but the pics aren’t great.
