Reply to "Looking for Mangusta wheels...."

markcharltonOld enough to know better and still young enough not to care. My '71 Pantera

Yeah, it's a cool look as long as you're not actually moving!

I just changed all my Pantera suspension components and with the new coil-overs pre-set them to what I figured was the correct height. When I lowered the car there was about 1/4 inch clearance above the wheel. I LOVED how it looked, but now what would happen after I hit a pebble on the road... At least with the Goose the wheels are inset enough that there likely wouldn't be any rubbing. Not that I know because I've only ever pushed my Mangusta, and never over a bump!

I think that a set of original looking wheels in the $2500 max/set range would likely entice me, and I suspect many others, to buy a set. I think that Steve W is aiming for exactly this approach and suspect we will have a "stock-mod" solution pretty soon in 17" and possibly 18" x various widths. If not, those PI wheels look pretty damn good to me. I might even have to go with the same paint scheme as well. Hmmm.
