I've got a NOS Nardi 400MM Flat wheel that I am at a loss to ID. It has rivets on the back side like those from the mid 60s and back. It has a larger than normal hub opening and the diameter of the bolt circle is 100MM instead of the "normal" 70mm. Any ideas?

Jim, that hole spacing looks an awful lot like it could be for an Austin-Healey. Here's a photo. I sold the car so I can't go measure it for you.

EDIT: On second thought, disregard. Not enough holes........

Jim, call Bruce Crawford. He will know- he knows everything about wood wheels.

Ed, Thank you. Why didn't I think of that?
