15" Wood Rim Wheel

Post by Red Mist »

I already have a 14" leather Mota-Lita, but fancy a larger wood rim wheel that I can use if the mood takes me.

Was looking at the below wheel which seems a good price. Does anybody have any other recommendations or similar wheels for sale?

Thanks!

There's this genuine Moto Lita one from a well respected supplier

Not far off twice the price though.

The Watford classic parts one looks a good price. I'm not sure what discernible difference there actually is in the quality.
It is technically 'a cheap imitation'. But does it matter?

The guy at classic steering wheels has got some of the last (13" slightly dished) John Cooper signature wheels. Prices for these now at a premium thanks to BMW

I just spotted this used one

Thanks S-type.

Saw those and leaning toward a genuine Mota-Lita at the moment. Quite like this one!
