A Signature wheel with emotional weight
The Momo Ronnie Peterson steering wheel is one of the most distinctive entries in the Signature Series.
Not because of technical complexity, but because of its simplicity and restriction.
It was produced in black only, paired with a thick grip and a semi-dish layout that mirrors the core design language of its era.
Alongside the Jackie Stewart wheel, it represents one of the clearest expressions of Momo’s early Signature philosophy.
A design reduced to essentials
The wheel follows a familiar structure:
350 mm diameter
Semi-dish profile
Thick grip
Slotted spoke design
Black-only production
A few non-signed versions exist, where the signature area is replaced with bold yellow Momo lettering. These variations add another layer of collector interest, especially when comparing production phases.

Horn buttons – rare variations

These details often appear only on surviving original setups, making complete assemblies especially rare.
A wheel tied to a defining era
Ronnie Peterson’s career was defined by speed, natural talent, and a driving style that became instantly recognizable.
He progressed from karting success to Formula 3 dominance, before entering Formula 1 and quickly establishing himself as one of the fastest drivers of his generation.
His career includes 10 Grand Prix victories and two runner-up World Championship finishes.
His life ended suddenly after the 1978 Monza accident, an event that left a lasting mark on motorsport history.
Why this wheel matters
The Ronnie Peterson Signature wheel is not about variation or evolution.
It is about restriction.
Black-only production, a consistent shape, and a clear identity make it one of the most focused designs in the entire Signature Series.
A wheel that feels as direct as the driver it was named after.
