In the site they say its from a panther.


yes, the site says panther but looking at historical pictures, I cannot find a match between it and a panther.

Is it possible that its the inside roadwheel, the one of the pair toward the hull? Or the interior half of one of those ones made of two pieces? Might be why its not looking like the pics that we can all find.
Treize (pronounced 'trays')- because 'Treisprezece' is too long and even harder to pronounce.

(after you click the link, click the pic again to zoom in)

my hair has turned grey trying to find the answer, can anyone help me please?

the best I could figure of it is that it might be from one of the models of tiger 








actually it looks to be from a 1/2 tract of some kind. The lack of perimeter bolts indicates to me that it's not from a Panther or Tiger


thanks,

My educated guess would be a Panther. Its smoothly concave and has a single row of six lugs (rivets?), where the Tigers have concentric ridges and two spread out rows of rivets.

If its not an actual Panther, its one of its derivitives.

EDIT:

Tiger Roadwheels

Panther Roadwheels







Your picture shows the late version all steel road wheels . Early Tigers had rubber road wheels simular to the color photos shown.
