>>>As you can see, these are the commonly available rotor/hub combination, 
which won't work with a Pantera hub.   These will bolt right up to a 
Pantera, but you would have to use USA lug nuts in the front as they come with 
studs already mounted, and the OD of the studs is larger than the OD of the 
metric studs in the stock Pantera rotor so you can't switch the Pantera studs 
over.

These particular discs seem extremely expensive; I think you can get them 
for less elsewhere.   But the elegant solution is to use original-style 
discs, which are JUST the disc, not the disc/hub combo as seen here.
