 Here is a vintage Grant wood rim I picked for 15 USD...

A little polish, steel wool and walnut stain brought it back to fair/good condition. Not everyone's taste but it suits me fine for now. They still make them new, but the rims are much thicker and not as attractive IMHO.

This is what I am running, having a horn button made and wrapping it in the same color door panel you can see.

Flat4 are nice, you would use it with the ISP-West mounting boss.

You can easily find an old Speedwell with its boss for a good price, or a Superior 500.

Nardi are nice looking too, and you can choose the size you like.

I've had wanted ads on several forums for an old Speedwell formula wheel. Any tip on where to look?
Haven't had any sucess yet.

How about the "CHAIN" you know, the ones the LowRiders run??? So they can drive with the hand cuffs on....................... Cheesy Cheesy
     So many options to chose from! I know I want 14-15 inch. But I am not sure about the depth of the wheel itself. I am 6'2 if that means anything to you pro's out there?? Would a flatter wheel be better for me?
        Man, you guys have awesome cars! I cannot wait till I get mine painted! So far, I am still thinking Flat 4. But I need to see some wheels in person!

I've got a couple of choices. First, I've got a wheel like Dave Rhodes had in the '64 - a Scat I believe. Dave's was all black whereas mine was tan. Looked a bit odd though so I polished the spokes and dyed the rim and centre grey. I got what I think is a Speedwell off ebay a few years ago, all painted black but will be stripped back before going into the '51, so plenty of time! Then there's a Moto-Lita that I got off Ebay, supposed to be off a '67 but it has a small spline boss so it's for a '74-on. That'll end up on the wife's Mk1 Golf 'vert as I haven't got anything that late! Finally there are a pair of Nardi wheels, one woodrim and one leather wrapped for the wifes Beetle vert and my car. The woodrim needs refinishing and the leather one needs re-covering, but they were both cheap enough and feel nice so I'm happy enough!

I really need to get some pics...

carlito , not sure than speedwell made some small dish steering wheels


i've the same as you and this came from a french car if i remember and those were on boat  Wink
here's mine  Wink

Your's deeper.

Formula have equiped many cars and other stuff...
Simca, Jaguar, Mini, Lotus, VW, ...

There's 3 type of deep for 15" Furmula


and 2 type in 13"


For the 15", there is 5 kind of finish.


But you're right.
Speedwell chose the deep dish in the Formula collection.
There's too different kind :
The new one with black boss kit, Speedwell horn button and more dark.
The old one in natural finish with silver boss kit and standard bus horn button.
