Peter,
I know a lot of Panteras are equipped with bolt-together three-piece wheels. I do hear of safety problems.
I know a lot of Panteras have two-piece welded wheels. I do not hear of safety problems.
Questions bouncing around in my head:
Are those Forgeline bolt-together three-piece wheels DOT approved wheels?
Same question for the "centerlock conversion" option.
In any case, are they designed for the high cornering forces Pantera wheels face in a spirited drive?
(Is DOT approval really an issue? I believe most owners seem to believe it isn't.)
And finally, IMHO,
As you have first hand evidence of a serious safety shortcoming of bolt-together three-piece wheels,
why are you contemplating venturing down that road again?
