For a MotoLita lookalike, try Finish Line in Hollywood, FL
www.finishlineaccessories.com Item MK3-9. It fit my Motolita Tiger hub
perfectly. It has a slight (1 1/4//" dish). I don't know what the prices
are now, when I bought mine the MotoLita wheel was listed at $270, the
FinishLine Wheel at $135.
