isn't the ribbed one the end of one of those generator/magnetos that rubbed the tire and produced electricity to power a headlight on a bicycle?

No. Outer portion of the coaster or pedal brake. Looks like the generator drive wheel though.

Glad to hear it is not from the Boxster. Looks like the neighbors kids were doing some repairs in my driveway again.

Thanks for the quick response.
