Hi All,
As a favor to me, and for the Pantera community, my good friend at Marvic Wheels in Italy has now made the DeTomaso Pantera 10x15 Campagnolo wheels in magnesium (as the original) and in both the Long and Short rib designs. He is also making the 8x15 fronts brand new in Magnesium as well. These are made and ready for sale.
This is great news!
Ed
Side note: As far as tires, I know that Chip Foose had Pirelli make a run of 15” P7’s so possible we can get some of those as he didn’t use them.

Pantera GTS - A real Italian-American story. In the late 60s, the Ford
Company gave to the Italian De Tomaso the production of a high
performance, mid-engined car, for the US market.
The intent was to counter the fame of Corvette in the USA (General
Motors production) and to take advantage of the successes achieved in
Europe by the GT40 in both sales and track.
Thanks to the agreement, Tom Tjaarda together with De Tomaso drew the
body, reworking the technical scheme already experienced with the
Mangusta. Gianpaolo Dallara had the daunting task of revolutionizing
the steel backbone chassis frame of the prototype, to a less expensive
steel monocoque: it was a specific request made by Ford in order to
ensure a more competitive price with the rivals of the era.
A Ford 351 Cleveland engine powered by a huge Holley carburetor
constitutes the finishing touches, along with self-ventilated brake
discs, ZF synchronized transmissions and limited-slip differential.
In the spring of '71 the public debut and the marketing.
Thanks to the 3D scan and then the RE of original wheels of the era,
Marvic today manufactures and offers the full range of magnesium
wheels. Reliable and perfect to let this Italian-American Muscle Car
shine again they are in fact all available: the front wheels in 8"x 15"
and both versions of rear wheels: 10 "x 15" long and short "ribs".
Available sizes
Front 8" x 15"
Rear Post. 10" x 15" (short and long ribs)
Available colors
Marvic gold, Grey Aluminium. Other colors on request.
