Our model numbering system is the result of decades of constant product development and in this series we're taking a look at the differences between the ranges.

The Moto-Lita Classic 3 is designed to enable better visibility of a vehicle's dials - particularly useful in smaller sports cars.

Available with Sapele wood or premium black cow hide as standard, the Classic 3 typifies the sort of wheels fitted to sports and racing cars of the 1950s and 1960s.

It's not a mass-produced, cheap imitation that will last a couple of years

  • Moto-Lita wheels have always been made in Britain using traditional techniques. They're the real thing, the original, and if looked after correctly, will last a lifetime
