    Question Early MOMO wheel

    Anyone know if MOMO made an early wheel called the Le Mans? Flat, looks like the Monza but, in natural aluminum finish.

    Cheers and Beers,
    Michael

    Michael - yes, Momo did make a 'Le Mans' model.

    As you say, it was similar to a Monza model but in natural aluminium finish.

    I had one recently but sold it & can't seem to find pictures of it.

    However I do have this Momo wheel - which is identical to the Le Mans version except that this one does not have the 'Le Mans' logo on the bottom spoke & is only 320mm in diameter - to illustrate some of the characteristics of a Le Mans wheel:



    Like the Monza, it has an offset join for the rim-covering material to the left of the lower spoke:



    The material covering the rim - which I think is some type of plastic (or a plastic coating over leather) - is also very smooth & shiny.

    The stitching pattern is quite different to most other Momo wheels (including the Prototipo & Monza) - it uses a 'criss-cross' pattern:

    Cool, Thought so. Thanks guys. I found one and hoped it was genuine. The MOMO logo is like the earlier single line block letters and the engraved Le mans name is done exactly like my early Prototipo. No date codes. Any idea of the time frame? Pre-Prototipo?
