A little later than the usual wheels in this thread but I picked this up for my collection recently. Dated Jan'90

I have just bought this lovely old Mota-Lita to go on the project "Sports Purpose" VW Beetle.
It was (allegedly!) taken off the Michelotti Jaguar D Type when Lynx bought it back to strip the D Type mechanicals out of it to go into one of their replicas. Fascinating story.

Some would say this isn't the most desirable of the wheels I have but it could quite possibly be the rarest.......
....the one year only 1974 thick grip
Early Carrera Sport Wheel in beautiful original condition.....
....as fitted to the 1974/75 Carrera 2.7 and, of course, the 74 3.0 RS
Cheers,

Nice find Darren.
I have to say I really like it, The 'Fatty' feels lovely and far more rigid than the one that was in the 930 I had.

I haven't posted on this thread for a while - & many wheels have come & gone in the meantime - but here are a couple of recent acquisitions for (possible) future use:
- first is a '66/'67 355mm flat Momo Indy:
- & second is a rare early '70's 380mm Abarth wheel (a model that has alluded me for many years):

How "fat" is the rim - ballpark for me as I removed my wheel from my 74 US carrera and woldn't mind knowing. thx in advance.

Thanks Darren - looks like I've got an identical one and for reference came from my 74 US spec 911 Carrera. Measured the same at 31.5mm

This is primarily for Andy....
Any idea of make please?
it just says "made in Italy" on the back and there a couple of barely readable numbers which I think are 3-75.
it's 355mm wide.
came on my 914--and is staying there, just curious.
many thanks
Ian

I can see both images now Ian !
Looks like a Raid s/wheel but the ones I've had have all been flat rather than dished ...
I'll have a rummage back thro' my old sw images & see if I have a note of anything similar.
