[DeTomaso] Wheels???

[Ken Green]

Thanks Mark,
OPPS, I actually intended to send the email to Tom Dupart and it would have made more sense to him, sorry.
I talked to Chris Coddington, and he said the 20 spoke wheels are very strong, I haven't asked him about the other wheels.  I do not like the majority of current wheels which I think are way over styled.  In my opinion, the 20 spoke and 5 pairs of spokes look very functional and I like both.  However, I realize that the wheels have to match the car to look really good.  The 72 is stripped now, needing quite a bit of metal repair, and I plan for a medium/dark blue, maybe a little darker on the gray side than your blue.  
I have Porsche 996 turbo "Big Red" Brembo calipers on 13 inch rotors and would like to get plenty of air to them, and I guess show them off a bit.
I don't have a well developed right side of the brain, and am not very artistic.  I have a set of Wilkinson 10 spoke wheels I bought for the 72, but then got a deal on a red & black 73, and in my opinion, the 10 spoke wheels look much better on the red & paint then they would on what I plan for the 72, but I didn't see that until I tried the wheels on the car.  I don't want to buy a set of wheels I won't like, so am looking at options:

Not sure if this photo will come through, but this is how the 20-spokes would look on my car.

    Hi Tom,
       I may have mentioned this, but if I didn't, I have a plan to get
   things moving forward on the Panteras.  I want to get the suspension
   wheels and tires, on the 72, along with all the rest of the parts I can
   (engine block & heads, ZF, etc.) and get it on the lift, and get the 73
   on the floor.  Then I can get back to work on the 73.  It has been just
   too hard to make progress with the 73 on the lift, just takes too much
   time.
       To do this, I need to get a set of wheels for the 72.  I want to
   use the same size as I have on the 73, which is a set of Wilkinson
   17/18 wheels.  I have a client who owes me a favor, and is in the wheel
   business and friends with Chris Coddington.  Chris has a couple wheel
   designs I like that can be made with a desired offset to fit, but I
   need to pick one. I was tending to the 20 spoke design, but now I think
   I like the wheel with 5 pairs of spokes better.  It seems a little more
   masculine?  The 20 spoke seems a little to fancy?  What do you think?
