If this can help! This should be an original speedster door panel with acella bast.

That's the early flat Nardi I have also seen on some other early cars. It has a distinct thin hub of which the beauty ring is actually steel and chromed. Thanks for sharing.
I haven’t seen that before. So different than the other flat nardi’s - looks more similar to a flat vdm

Bill
There is a faint MADE ITALY in the usual rectangular outline on the back of the lower spoke, but no year stamp.
The diameter of the wheel is 16 inches.
It came with a St Christopher horn button that is around somewhere.
Any ideas?
Tom

Tom......to my knowledge, dished wheels were not used in the 356/356A timeframe........and.....I`ve never seen exposed rivets on the face of an old Nardi.
