>>>Although personally I think a wood-rim Nardi wheel doesn't suit a 
Pantera well (it's a little too 'classic' 1960s, as opposed to 'modern' 1970s), I 
have seen a few Panteras with Nardis and the owners liked them.

The wheel is readily available from a million sellers (new) on E-bay.   I 
actually sold one out of the Miata on E-bay last year, that was brand new 
when we bought that car.   

As for the hub, I suspect the Mercury Capri/Ford Cortina hub would fit the 
Pantera, but it won't have a De Tomaso center logo.   Of course, you might 
appreciate the Nardi center that comes with the wheel more anyway.

     Can I get some help? Certainly would appreciate it. Apparently Hall
     has the hub, but does the bolt pattern match a Nardi? I have a Nardi
     on my MG and always thought it was a nice touch. Now its time for
     the Pantera.
