Here is what one of my Facebook friends just said to me:
Bob Fuji <https://www.facebook.com/robert.simpson.35380?fref=ufi> Wow, I always wondered why someone didnt do this, outstanding. I am assuming these will be milled/machined aluminum and available in Argent Silver or polished?

Bob Fuji <https://www.facebook.com/robert.simpson.35380?fref=ufi> Hot Damn! I'll have to see what they would look like on a stock Pantera before I pull the trigger. I like the stock sizes but as stated, old Mags can be sketchy. I have a new set of refurbed rims that I planned on putting on my car when it is finally redone but the thought of running 40+ year old rims is disturbing. Thanks for the post, very good info.

Even well painted wheels after 3 to 5 years; the paint starts flaking
off.
If I were going to spend $3000 - $4000 for a set of two 40 year old
magnesium 10x15 wheels, I would damn sure have them X-rayed or ZYGLO
them first, and then have them recoated just to make sure you protect
the surface. Then yeah they should be fine.
I tried to find a a used set myself, kind of difficult so for me
personally I am going to buy new for $3000, and call it a day.
My opinion. Anyone want to back me up? :-) lol

If it is true of these wheels shattering why are Grp 4 Panteras
racing
with these time time bombs today. I would think that they would be
banned.
I think you are just a wee bit caught up in the euphoria of these new
reproduction wheels.
