    no maker marks. date stamped 4 68 on the reverse of the lower spoke. 380mm which is consistent with the vintage.
    hub is Nardi. MoMo does not fit.

    First educated guess is Walsall (makers of Les Leston wheels) because the spoke width & radius at the rim is so large. At least one Leston wheel looks nearly the same, with spoke cutouts divided in the middle.

    Could also be Derrington or Formula/Speedwell, which produced similar products. Either way I'm betting English, not Italian.

    Walsall is also a bit finer and larger
    I'd say it one of the lots of personal manufactured wheels - but it looks a bit crude missing some elegance others have.

    No expert on those. All i notice is the date stamp looking a lot like the ones on the older personal steering wheels. However, the bolt pattern is different... (1-3-5-7-9-11 o'clock)

    That's right Nardi and personal were not at 12 o'clock - my Rallye Bitter is 12 o'clock and has the Nardi/Personal PCD
