Bill - right on .... Lemperts wheels are great and you can choose your wood
color/type/finish.
Love mine in African Rosewood. .
The up at 12 spoke is
correct and looks best. Across and down are for Etypes and B's et al.
And
stay with correct 16 inch dia with holed spokes while you are at it .... just
looks right [er].
Makes the Moto Lita 15s look like cheap mahogany copies.

The only wheel style that
looks right in a Healey has the spokes spaced at
120 degrees with one spoke
pointing up. They did that because with the
conventional layout (spokes at
105, 105 and 150 degrees with one spoke down)
blocks the driver's view of the
gauges.
If you are looking for a great wheel for your Healey you can't beat
Mike
Lempert's product.
