   Hi Jerry,
   If you're planning to run racing tires, you might consider 16" for the
   front. There are widely available 23.5" tall race tires from Goodyear,
   Avon and others - same tire as used on many race Panteras.
   I have a set of (3) 16" x 10" Diamond Racing wheels that I'd like to
   sell if you're interested. These were built specifically to fit a
   "narrow body" Pantera while giving maximum clearance for brake
   calipers.
   Forreference, attached is a picture of my 16a x 11a Gotti wheels as
   used on a non-flaredPantera. So you can see from the picture how they
   fit. (The front wheels picturedhave a 7.5a backspacing). The Diamond
   wheels have a 7.0 backspacing so will be 0.5a narrower inboard
   andoutboard (total 1a narrower) but with the exact same offset as the
   Gottis in the picture.
   (Also for reference, I've attached a photo showing the 7.5" backspacing
   for the 16" x 11" wheels.)
   My wheels are all new. One box hasn't even been opened (see attached
   picture).
   These are part of Diamond's "Pro Series" wheels. Price per wheel on
   Diamond's website is $124 for a 16" x 10".
   (see [1]http://www.diamondracingwheels.com/index.php/racing-wheels/pro-
   series )
   I'd sell all (3) of my wheels for the price of one -  $124. And with no
   4-6 week waiting period ;-)
   And in case the attachments don't go through, or if you want to see
   additional pictures, they are posted

To get ready for the TWS meet I am going to purchase a set of Bassett wheel.  I
have a narrow body 73 that I am going to take.  I need the specs for a set of 15
 inch wheels, 2, 8 inches wide for the front and 2, 10 inches wide for the back.
  I know the bolt pattern but not the back space.  How should I spec the wheels
to Bassett?The next question about back space would be - Is the back space for t
he back of a narrow body car with 10 inch wheels the same as the back space for
the front of a wide body GT5 for 10 inch wheels?  Was trying to get a set of 15
x 10 that would also double as front wheels for my GT5 so I would only have to b
uy a set of 2, 15 x 13s to make up a set for the GT5.Also, I thought that the wh
eels were available in gold.  I don't remember if gold is just a special request
 or not.  Plus they seem to have gone up in price substantially since the last t
ime I looked.Any help is always appreciated.jerry knotts
