mike, thank you for confirming what i suspected - that the front wheels are 16".  i have always felt 16"f/17"r are the best look on the pantera, as this keeps the tire sidewall height about equal between front/rear.  this is what gives the car the best balance, imo.


regarding best looking modern car ever, while i do love the pantera, (obviously), i also do believe these pics prove the pantera cannot be 1st.  (or even 4th?):
