I picked up a similar (mystery) wheel at a Lime Rock event. Mine had an engraved Mark Donahue signature on it. I still don't know exactly where it came from. I had to make an adapter to fit my car.

It looks like a Luisi.

Looks a lot like the Racmark wheel I have in my 63 veedub, except mine has black spokes. The Racemarks were really big with the Porsche crowd back in the 60’s and 70’s.

I have one of those wheels but it doesn’t have Marks signature on it. They ain’t cheap and even more expensive with his name engraved.

Looks like your car is a porshe spider 550 kit car.

The wood and spokes appear the very close to both the Luisi and Racemark, but the 5 hole mount is what is different

The only wheel I found with the 5 hole mount are the Grants. Looks close to the GT. Anyone know if they were made in Italy?

The search continues..........

Want to sell it?

Sure, I am in the process of moving and this is one of the reasons all my odd stuff is coming off the shelf.

I am down to just a few things left and I should find a new home for something like these.

I just don't know it's worth, any idea?

Almost appears to be a Nardi-Personal steering wheel. Very common in the aftermarket wheel world, especially Hondas.

It looks pretty close to this:
Grant GT Wheel

Doesn't show them, but the listing show the wheel there has markings similar to what your pic shows - "made in ital" with a month/year date stamp. That listing says it's a Grant wheel.

Nope. USA (early) and Mexico (now). They may have resell Italian brand wheels under their brand name.

You're correct about Grants having 5 holes but they usually have a Grant signature engraved into the spoke.
