About Wheels Of Italy
What we are doing
WOI has forged ahead to deliver a much-needed focus on Italian vehicles and their owners. There has been little or no activities with the clubs, lack of service providers and virtually no advertising focus in the Midwest for parts and resources. We all drive works of Italian art and want more. Our Mission
Our mission is to provide a place on the Internet as well as events here in the Midwest to rejuvenate the Italian car and bike industry as well as the people who drive them and admire them. This, as you can imagine, has been a long and tedious process. Only a passion so great for Italia and the want to succeed could have fueled what most said, "...will not work" and "...could not be done". Well, it has been done and done at a level that even surpassed WOI’s expectations. Wheels of Italy has succeeded and will continue to succeed! We are not alone
WOI has not been alone in this success! Many sponsors have helped us with their services and goods. It is great to know that there are companies out their that still operate with professionalism, a smart & wonderful staff and, best of all, integrity. If you would like to work with companies of this caliber, our sponsors are available for you and your company. Become involved
Join us in this great adventure and sign up to receive Event notices and general updates in the Italia world of vehicles; everyone is welcome to participate.

WOI Logo Story
We wanted our logo to look Italian and like a car or motorcycle crest/shield logo. With all the Italian vehicles and the animals on the marques we had to come up with something cool. Ferrari has the Prancing Horse, Alfa the Snake, Lamborghini has the Bull and the Shield shape is throughout a lot of the vehicles (Ducati, Lancia…).
Well, a Gopher wasn’t an option or one of our personnel pets; so a Spider became the focus. Now, finding the right Spider was a task in it’s self. Would it be hairy or not, big bodied or not…then we found it. We really thought the Spider on a shield shaped logo with WOI and a black on yellow would be it.
Since then, we have come up with our own versions of the “story”. One is, all the Italian convertibles are called a ‘Spider’. The Spider is fast, nimble and quick just like Italian Cars and Motorcycles. What ever the reason for the choice, the logo is great looking and people are starting the recognize it and know what it means. WOI stands for 'Wheels Of Italy'!
WOI wishes you and your passion the best and keep stopping back to refuel that passion.
Ciao!
Team WOI
