Need the brain trusts noggins on whether this mystery wheel might bolt up to a Momo hub. The existing hub says Made in Italy but that’s it. Wheel has no identification but it has a fat grip and finger notches on the back. Love the ergonomics but the spaced on it is not designed for 6’2”. Car originally a 4
Thoughts? |

Took it to a machine shop which specializes in Formula Fords to see if they could cut down the rings and then reassemble. They said for $300 to $400 no problem. Yeah right. If no one knows I might just order a Momo hub and see if they match, that is if Momo still makes them.

It looks like a Momo hub with an adapter attached to it.
Take the adapter off and measure the diameter and spacing of the mounting hole is the hub and post it. I can probably find my Momo hub this evening and measure it. Jim |

I have a Momo hub that was drilled and tapped to fit a 5 screw wheel common in the US like Grant Wheels. I have also made adapter plates to fit a LeCarra wheel to a Momo hub and to then use the smaller diameter Momo style horn button. All way less than $200. the cast aluminum style Momo hub is very adaptable.

If it uses the same bolt pattern as the Italian Luisi wheels, you can use this spacer to adapt it.
