I have that aspect under control. The front wheels are available with 20mm offset. The rears would require spacers & longer wheel studs. The studs are available via a Pantera vendor. Spacers are available via Motorsport Tech
We spoke of this at the Concorso. I can acquire all 4 wheels via the internet for less than $1000. Spacers and studs would cost less than $400. $1400 for a complete set of wheels, with all the parts needed for mounting. After I make that switch to the dark side, there's a whole world of inexpensive wheels, designed for the sport compact market, that would become available to me in the future. Another $1000 would acquire tires. So $2400 would acquire an entire set of wheels and tires, including mounting hardware. The next time my Pantera needs tires, there shall be a welcome number of choices in terms of price and type. I won't be in the position of having to mix and match tires, settling for truck tires, compromising sizes, importing tires from Europe, or accepting obsolescence; positions so many owners find themselves in today.
Plus ... the choices in wheels and tires I'll make are better engineered than what folks are currently "settling" for.

In all my searching I don't remember running across that name. I will check them out. Thank you my friend.
