[DeTomaso] Pantera wheel pattern

[shelbygt]

I dig the shiz-nistle out of the 17' "Campy kinda" wheels I got from Dennis 
Quella from Pantera Performance.  They're close enough to a Campy to look 
right but not so ghetto that they look like something they aren't supposed 
to.  You have to be careful with wheels.  They can make or break a car.
