Unlikely that none was ever done and this was based on one wheel failing due to some owner over driving their car and it became "fact" and the folklore of Pantera owners. I have seen the same comments made as a general comment on all 3-piece wheels and that they are ONLY for racing. That is pure BS. Ask BBS, HRE, Rotiform, Forgeline, Gotti, etc. They would laugh at whomever said this.
