Bring money. Lots of money. Original wood wheels do show up, but they are
not cheap. And be prepared to be disappointed; the condition described and
the condition received may not be the same unless one of our guys here is
restoring / re-manufacturing them.
A 14" wheel, to me, looks much better than a 15" wheel. Nardi is good, so is
Moto Lita, who have a hub that will accommodate the adjustable steering
wheel on the Tiger. (I have no idea if Nardi does that, but suspect they
do.)
