[DeTomaso] Pantera GT5S *seventeen* inch wheels

[Kirby Schrader]

On Mr Drew's recommendation, I ordered a custom offset set of 15" Bassett wheels for the race car.

1) They are much heavier than my Gottis

2) One of the rear wheels was manufactured poorly. The inside wobbled differently than the outside. It has been returned. I am waiting for their response 

The other three balanced just fine.

FWIW
