What's the home button diameter? Is it 55mm?

Sparco doesn't show that type of release hub on their web page, unless I'm missing it. Any info on this QR? Or is it ebay Sparco?

It's Ebay Sparco.

Well, maybe .. like... that needs to be disclosed upfront.

I just bought this car a few days ago for the drive train and am not the original owner so I can't confirm 100% real or fake. I simply listed it based on the brand I see on the wheel / release.

That said, this car was built in 2007 so perhaps possible that its older style that Sparco no longer sell / list in their catalog? If its knock off, they must have copied it from SOMEWHERE so its not unreasonable to think Sparco at one point had a real version that looks just like the current ebay fakes ?

Judging by the other components on this car as well, I would be very surprised if it was fake. Had a FM built engine, begi turbo kit, 6 speed tranny, torsen swapped into a 93. Interior was completely redone with insulation and new color. Also had hard top, and a bunch of other niceties on it. It was obvious when this car was built someone spent A LOT of money on it. Hard to imagine that person spending all that money for an all out drive train and then slapping on fake eBay wheels / quick release to save a few hundred, but I don't have receipt so I won't discount the possibility.

It's an Ebay QR at least for sure. The wheel i'm not sure about. The leather wrap looks kinda "meh" at best for Nardi, but i also haven't seen many of their suede wheels.

The QR is the same ebay one you can get unbranded for $20, it just has the Sparco log on it. Ebay fakes have been the same since the beginning of time. Early NRG knockoff.
