[DeTomaso] GT5 Campagnolo Wheels

[phavlik at pris.ca]

   Chuck:

   My wheels have Tecnomagnesio stamped on them, and the stickers read  
Tecnomagnesio as well.. No reference to Campagnolo anywhere.

   This has made me curious and so, after the holidays, I will begin  
to canvass some late model Pantera owners to see what their wheels  
look like.
