bruffsup Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 I bought this a long time ago and am having trouble identifying the vehicle it fits. The spoke pattern as you can see is unusual as it is with a lot of that legendary company's offerings. The spokes seem to be tensioned as the spinner is tightened, something new to me. One chap thought it was from a "Derby" Bentley but I have been unable to verify that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bruffsup Posted June 2, 2019 Author Share Posted June 2, 2019 Much too big for motorcycle anything. This is automotive for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edinmass Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 Were all Rudge wheels drop center? In the states drop center was popular from 1932 on, but the wheel you have looks very slightly built......probably the photos are deceiving. Does it show signs it has been used and had a tire on it? Looks like something English from the early 20’s like a Twin Cam Sunbeam, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1912Staver Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 What about airplane ? It just does not look automotive at all with those mid spoke mounting washers. Greg in Canada 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1937hd45 Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 1912Sraver beat me to it, wheel doesn't look like it would accept any side loads, I'd guess aircraft with wheel brakes. Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidAU Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 I think if it was for a Bentley it would be a bit wider and triple laced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
