[DeTomaso] 10x15 Wheel Pantera GTS - Marvic Wheels

[Mike Drew]

Awesome deal, normal retail is in the $750 each range and Tire Rack had a blowout (hah!) price of only $128!  These were 2012 manufacture. They are sold out now but have some later manufacture tires for $550 or so. 

Note that these are for GT5 etc 15x13 or 15x14 wheels, much too large for 15x10....
