Wheel identification

Does anyone recognise the make of this wheel from a 1963 Lola GT?

Cheers

Rob

Re: Wheel identification

I could be wrong, but it looks like the style of Halibrand that was used on some of the Cobras (e.g. the FIA 289).

Re: Wheel identification

It's hard to see. Do you have another pic? Does it have spokes like a Minilite?

Re: Wheel identification

I think Brian is right, it looks like a 289 FIA Comp wheel.

Re: Wheel identification

Cheers guys. I have found a better picture which I will post tonight - if these are 289 FIA wheels, any idea where I may find a set?

Re: Wheel identification

These are the PS Engineeing FIAs:

"FIA Wheels"


This is a pic form ERA's site. I used to have a link

lost its reg - it now forwards to a porn site
