Troy, Like Mitch said thats a british style wheel.   You will need a new hub or an adapter.  Better off with a new Moto-lita style hub if you plan to use the 82mm Porsche Crest.  The Metal pattern in your steering wheel pic is called a large tear drop.  Jeffery from Classico Wheel can male you the ring.  He made mine, I'll look for the Picture.

here you go... the hub, wheel, horn ring pictured is an ISP West kit.  they have gone up in price $100 in last 3 years.... inflation i guess!

just choose your hub spline patterb- my VS came with a 1960-1974 spline streering rod/spline count.  easy plug and play.

wheel is not flat, it has a 1" dish, in my car VS this maintained  the 3" spacing between the steering wheel and blinker arm.   when i swaped it out for a flat wheel ( when i was experimenting whith wheels) i only had 2" between wheel/blinker harm .. a little  to tight for my hands.  i whent back to the dished wheel.

hope this helps....

cheers,

I posted for some help, because I've been frustrated in my attempts to identify the source.  I was hoping someone would make it simple and could give me part numbers and websites like they could do if I asked where I could get a banjo wheel and a Porsche horn button and hub.  Seems like this one could be just as simple. 

Actually, it was very simple to find the wheel. Google can always answer the question. 5 minutes of research. Then it gets down to how bad do you want it $$$.

Looking through my server picture files... here is what the hub looks like uninstalled.  It can accommodate any 9 bolt wheel.  Also, I noted in my receipt that they sold me the kit- wheel, hub, and horn ring— without the horn button to save $$, since I already had a couple banjo wheel  and Porsche horn buttons.   The ISP guys are friendly, know our cars and builders, and have always been easy to work with.

And a spline quick reference w/ picture,

Sorry I can’t share more pics.   I’m traveling in Europe, just accessing my files/home server,  through my Samsung phone,

Cheers,
