There is a Healey Motor Company wooden wheel in
Horler's book. I have a Moto Lita, mine is not a
repro of what's in Horler, but is very nice (IMHO).
Got it from Wire Wheel classics in Florida
(www.wirewheel.com). It was in perfect shape, with
hub/Sprite hornpush (the "crest" emblem, not the
lightning bolt). Less than 1/2 Moss' price. He had
many others when I was there, slightly used.
Usual disclaimers.
