At Moto-Lita, we don’t just make steering wheels. We make finishing touches for the cars you love most. In this article, we imagine which of our handcrafted wheels suit some of the world’s most iconic vehicles.
From classic Jaguars to rugged Defenders, here's what we’d choose (and why).
Jaguar E-Type
Sleek, stylish, and quintessentially British. For the E-Type, we’d go for a riveted Flat Mahogany Rim T-spoke E-Type OEM. Elegant, era-correct, and worthy of the dash it sits in.
Perfect match: Flat Mahogany Rim wheel, Wood and Billet Gear Knob. See https://www.moto-lita.co.uk/products/mahogany-rim-t-spoke-e-type-oem
Land Rover Defender
A rugged classic with modern attitude. The Defender pairs beautifully with a MK4 Expedition HD Polished, Boss and Centre.
Perfect match: MK4 Expedition HD Polished wheel, black boss and cap. See https://www.moto-lita.co.uk/products/flat-mk4-leather-rim-polished-copy
Ford Mustang (1965–1968)
American muscle meets British craftsmanship. A dished wood wheel with Cobra-slot spokes nods to the Shelby era, giving vintage Mustangs a track-ready feel.
Perfect match: Deep-dished Mk.3 with Cobra-slot spokes and walnut finish. See https://www.moto-lita.co.uk/products/dished-split-cobra
Mini Cooper S (Classic)
Small car, big character. A smaller diameter Mk.3 wooden wheel with drilled spokes keeps it lightweight and sporty, matching the Mini’s rally heritage.
Perfect match: 13” riveted wood rim, drilled spokes, dished centre. See https://www.moto-lita.co.uk/products/dished-mark-three-wood-rim-thick-grip
Porsche 911 (1970s–1980s)
Precision, control, and a touch of flair. A Black Anodised Flat Formula Race red leather Wheel, with black spokes and thin slots suits the minimal yet purposeful interior of an air-cooled 911.
Perfect match: red leather wheel with anodised black spokes and thin slots. See https://www.moto-lita.co.uk/products/flat-formula-race-wheel-black-anodised
