[DeTomaso] Fwd: WTB, Jongbloed Race Wheel Parts for GT4 or GT5

[Julian Kift]

Dave,


Great to see you back and my apologies as for some reason I thought your car was a "sister" car to Quella's.


I (and I'm sure others) would love to see some photos!

Julian

Hi Julian,

Thank you for the suggestions.

Not a "silly question", but yes, I did contact Jongbloed ... a couple of years ago. They do not build these wheels or parts any longer.


It may be worth circling around with them again to see if the situation has changed. But with the definition of "insanity" being what it is, I thought I'd try a different route to locate the wheel parts.


I do have some Diamond Racing wheels, which are similar to the Bassets, and I agree, both are good inexpensive options for track use.


I know the Jongbloed's are a bit obscure, but that's partially what I like about them. And they are period-correct having been run on actual race cars "back in the day".


Yes, the BBS's are certainly more readily available. I use those on my '86 IMSA Pantera ... which is coming along nicely. Engine, gearbox, brakes and other big-pieces are done ... but it's all the little stuff that's taking big amounts of time! Thank you for asking.


And just to clarify, the IMSA Pantera has no connection to Long & Newman. You're probably thinking there's a connection because, I believe, Dennis Quella's tube-frame racer uses a body from L&N. But my car is completely different.


Thanks again,
Dave

Maybe a silly question , but have you contacted Jongbloed, they still offer most of the range of racing wheels.


I have seen the Basset wheels on a few wide body Pantera vintage racers , a very cheap option and look similar to the GT5 Campi's.

The older BBS race rims seem more available than Jongbloed.

It's great to see you get back to this car, do you have the Long & Newman tube frame car up and running?

Julian
