Greg, I agree with everything you say. However, in the moss
Accessories catalog the Moto Lita wheel lists for $179.95 and
requires an adaptor hub for and additional $54.95. Not a whole lot
additional BUT this does not give you a solid wood wheel. It is two
wood halves rivited to an aluminum center. In order to get a solid
wood wheel from Moto Lita you have to spend $234.95 AND it appears
to only fit the '63 - '67 MGs and then only if you add $94.50 for
the hub.
So I agree, its a true case of getting what you pay for...
