[DeTomaso] 10x15 Campagnolo Pantera GTS wheels

Thu May 28 15:23:58 EDT 2015

As DeTomaso was a fairly small customer in terms of volume, he apparently didn't ask for exclusive rights to the design used on the Mangusta  and Pantera. At least,  some Campagnolo magnesium rims of "familiar" design showed up on club-racing cars of other brands all through the '70s and '80s in Europe.

Wouldn't truly original DeTomaso drawings be the Campagnolo version of
   the
10" wheel, with the longer reinforcing ribs and the rougher finish
   between
them, rather than the Tecnomagnesio version with the shorter
   ribs and the
smoother finish (like your photo, which, correct me if I'm
   wrong, were
commissioned by Gary Hall?)
