Those purists might also say it's not a 'real' GT40. So who the hell cares. 
That's one amazing car you have there.

I've always liked the GT40 BRM wheels too, and think they'd look great on a 
Pantera, but I think the offsets are wrong:

I have the 'Halibrands' from Vintage Wheel on my GT40....

Some purists will say that they are not 'real' GT40 wheels though... they are 
missing the 'wine glass stem' and they are 17" and.... well, you get the idea.
:-)

Personally, I like them purely because I can get decent tires for the street.
When I take it to the track next month, I plan on using the 15" wheels with 
track tires/slicks.

FWIW,
Kirby
