   This is great news!

   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

Wheel Pantera GTS - Marvic Wheels

   <17_GTS-rear-long-ribs.jpeg>

   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.
