[Healeys] BJ8 Woodrim Steering Wheels ???

[AHMG at aol.com]

I have had several wheels made by Mike Lempert of SC. He is very knowledge  
and his made to order wheels are superb. If you want something special or a 
 period correct wheel, I would suggest Mike. All of his wheels are hand 
made and  bent the period way. Because of the quality and request he receives 
and  that fact he is a one man show, build time is likely extended vs  online 
ordering but you won't be disappointed. 
No financial interest, just pure honesty. Also I would suggest visiting his 
 web site gallery.

Moto Lita are the most period correct. They were  making the wheels in the
1950s and they are still making them now.  Derrington wheels were actually
made by Moto Lita. If you are going to the  trouble of changing the wheel I
would recommend buying the 15 inch  version.
