There are wheels in prewarcar newly manufactured for the Bugatti Royale. The wheels are from Switzerland.But this wheels are completely wrong in the relationship to the original Bugatti drawing . Why anyone builds wheels for the Royale?

There were 2 versions, I believe. Perhaps the "other" version?

Check the photoserver. I believe the prototype and the 41150 have different wheels. (can be wrong though...)

the new wheel made in Swiss has inside differend reinforcement ribs . The new one has all the ribs the same , and the center is maybe casted solid . Very untypical for Bugatti . In the original wheel every second rib is a small one . So the new one is more heavy and not Bugatti like . But why this guys in Swiss made a Royale wheel ? The existing Royales need spares ? Or is somebody building a Royale ? In case somebody is building a Royale , all I need is to look at the wheel and I can imaginate how the rest is made .Top foto shows the original .

These wheels advertised on Prewar car have absolutley nothing to do with any "Packard Torpedo" recreation.
