[DeTomaso] 10x15 Campagnolo Pantera GTS wheels

[Ed Mendez]

He is going to make the original Campi design wheel to whatever is correct to the DeTomaso drawings he has. I honestly do not know the difference as I took that picture a few weeks ago and was explained that the shorter ribs were early wheels and the longer ribs were later wheels? Please correct me if I am wrong :-) thanks Ed

   He is going to make the original Campi design wheel to whatever is
   correct to the DeTomaso drawings he has. I honestly do not know the
   difference as I took that picture a few weeks ago and was explained
   that the shorter ribs were early wheels and the longer ribs were later
   wheels? Please correct me if I am wrong :-) thanks Ed
