Hi Edwin,
This one looks like a Nardi, or one of Jeffrey Fellman's knockoffs. Please post a photo of your wheel. Sounds interesting.
Cheers,
Joel

Jager,
That's a very good looking wood wheel, but I don't think it is one of the elusive VDM slotted-spoke ones because the metal rim doesn't show on the inside.

I have been paying attention to these recently because I have been trying to figure out what the deal is with mine.

Welcome. Yes, car is up for bid on ebay as we speak.

Thanks for replying! Teardrop shape of the 3 slots and lack of a "LL" logo make me think otherwise. Is that Rudi/Ben Klein's wrecking yard in Los Angeles? Picture must be somewhat old, based on the number of wrecks. Any idea of the date or source?

Hello, The wheel looks like an old Les Leston to me.

Car is a T6 B.

356,
Where is that shot from? Looks like the car has the (remains of the) very rare slotted-spoke dished VDM wood wheel. The metal grab handles on the passenger's side dash and door mean it is a "B" car, correct? Can you tell whether it is a T-5 or T-6?
Thanks,
Ed
