I have a Moto Lita, love how it looks and feels. In my case it?s on a 2000TC and I went for a 15? to give myself some extra leg room. <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
They also sell the correct bosses for our columns. <br>

Wood wheels is a world to explore!<br>
That wheel isnt technically period correct - being a 'big' boss.<br>
Whilst Moto Lita is a safe choice, it doesnt start to explore the<br>
opportunity period steering wheels offer.<br>
The advantage of ML is simply that the company still exists, so you just<br>
buy new what they offer from the catalogue.<br>
Of course the 'correct' option for any P6 is a Clifford, who made the<br>
plastic wood effect wheel option. (actually who made the standard car<br>
wheel? off the top of my head I dont know, but cliffords were the supplier<br>
for several standard production brands in period.) Clifford also supplied<br>
real wood wheels too.<br>
Another careless choise (in my opinion) is to say get a Les Leston. LL was<br>
just a successful marketeer of accessories in the 60's and 70's selling<br>
whoever's product he got his hands on, with the addition of the LL logo.<br>
The technically superior maker was probably Walsall Wheels (often confused<br>
or combined with the assumption all are LL wheels, and all LL's are WW's)<br>
These were used as oe wheels for certain brands, but also widely sold in<br>
the aftermarket.<br>
Be aware there was a huge activity in the market with perhaps as few as a<br>
dozen 'principal' UK manufacturers all producing and marking for their<br>
Brand customers.<br>
