Wheels/Tire Combo for Sale
by Emiliano Ballejos 09 Sep '16

09 Sep '16

Gentlemen, I have a set of 18" wheels for sale that came with a project. Not exactly my style but I've seen them on a few cars and listed for sale on eBay through one of the Pantera vendors, can't recall who. Currently have Michelin Pilot Sports on them that are a bit dated but have lots of tread and are worn evenly. They were stored inside so might be ok for some use. $1,800 obo or trade for a set of Campy clones. Regards, Emiliano 7205GTS 5910L

Dear Brent, IIRC, they were GE truck headlights that were for sale on Amazon for about $125 each. I cannot recall which truck nor the part number.

wheel balancing II
by Charles McCall 09 Sep '16

09 Sep '16

The shop that installed the rubber on my rims yesterday didn't balance them because they don't have equipment that will accept a tire this size. We're talking about rear tires on a GT5-S - 345-35-15's. I remember the shudder that resulted when a weight fell off my daily driver a few years ago. Is this something I should worry about? Or should I drive it and see if it shakes my teeth out first?

Re: [DeTomaso] Weights for wheel balance on Magnesium
by Tomas Gunnarsson 09 Sep '16

I've only used stick on weights and they don't come in contact with the magnesium. On my track day wheels I have edge mounted weights but on the other hand those wheels don't see much rain.

It all depends on how unbalanced they are. The previous owner of my car had never bothered having the wheels balanced. I couldn't feel anything strange when I drove the car. I had the wheels balanced and of course noticed no change. I don't remember the wheels requiring an unusual amount of weights either.

10x15 Wheel Pantera GTS - Marvic Wheels
by Ed Mendez 09 Sep '16

09 Sep '16

Hi All, As a favor to me, and for the Pantera community, my good friend at Marvic Wheels in Italy has now made the DeTomaso Pantera 10x15 Campagnolo wheels in magnesium (as the original) and in both the Long and Short rib designs. He is also making the 8x15 fronts brand new in Magnesium as well. These are made and ready for sale. This is great news! Ed Side note: As far as tires, I know that Chip Foose had Pirelli make a run of 15” P7’s so possible we can get some of those as he didn’t use them. > > http://www.marvic.it/en/prodotto/pantera-gts/ <http://www.marvic.it/en/prodotto/pantera-gts/> > > Wheel Pantera GTS - Marvic Wheels > > Pantera GTS - A real Italian-American story.

NPC - Anybody driven a new Fiat Spider?
by Rob Dumoulin 09 Sep '16

09 Sep '16

I already have one of the new Fiat 500 Abarths which is very fun to drive. I saw the new Spider in the showroom and it was the only one they had (therefore, they did not offer test drives). It looks very nice, though it did not come with a manual tranny like the 500 and the Abarth version has not been released yet. Anybody get a chance to drive one?
