Help needes in identifying unknown aircraft wheel

[Edwin]

Hello
My father passed away last year and now I'm going tot his stuff. He was always interested in everything of ww2 (also because he experienced the war as a 13year old kid)
There is this wheel, he got it from somebody who worked at an aviation museum in The Netherlands. It should be a Spitfire wheel. But I'm not sure. Can somebody of you guys help me ?
It has AH10020 on it and it is a Dunlop tyre.
See the pictures
Thanks a lot !

It's the same style as a Spitfire wheel, although i don't have access to the dimensions info at the moment.
Someone here will probably be along at some point and answer the question.

Like Terry said, it certainly does look like a Spitfire mainwheel.

The measurements for a Spitfire tire and wheel are as follows:
Tire: 7.50x10.25
Tire's outer diamer: 24.85"
Tire's cross-section width: 7.70"
Maximum load: 8550 pounds
Maximum air pressure: 35 PSI
Wheel dimensions: 10.25x5

The Typhoon had a similar wheel, but it had five slots and five bolts at the hub, compared to the Spitfire's four and four.
On the otherhand, the Hurricane had a comparable wheel (four slots, four bolts) and was close in size to the Spitfire.
Here's the Hurricane's tire and wheel info:
Tire: 8.00x10.25
Tire's outer diameter: 25.40"
Tire's cross-secrion width: 7.80"
Maximum load: 3300 pounds
Maximum pressure: 45 PSI
Wheel dimensions: 10.25x5

See if these measurements help answer your question, if not, I can whip out the chart and we'll try again.

Andy Saunders, on another forum, identified this AH number as coming from an Airspeed Oxford or Consul.
