[DeTomaso] GT5 Campagnolo Wheels

[phavlik at pris.ca]

   The wheels on my car, and I believe most Panteras built after 1988,  
were stamped "Tecnomagnesio" and "De Tomaso". I wonder if perhaps you  
were sent wheels that were old stock?
Now you have me curious, Mike. I feel the start of a new research  
project coming on....
