Laslo, your right, the availability of suitable tyres is what the rim design needs to be based on.
(For that very reason I purchased two sets of rear tyres just in case they are discontinued).
Sorry, by deep dish I did mean the deep raked spokes.
Although the dish is an important visual appeal as well.
Wheels such as PIM's have flat spokes & even Wilkinson would not do the deep raked spokes I wanted.
The look of your wheels is what I'm after.

Out of all the Pantera’s with aftermarket wheels your wheels are the best I've seen, (only my opinion obviously).
A combination of the original GT4 look, with deep dish, deep raked spokes, that 70's smaller front wheel look & the massive rears.
Also what is important is to make the spokes on the rear wheels thicker, (wider) than the smaller front wheels.
To keep the correct proportions between front & rear.
Otherwise with such large rim diameters on the rear the spokes can look too spindly.

I’m taking my time on the computer getting the design just right, no rush.

Yes, it’s the thickness of the billet that makes the rears so expensive.
480mm diameter x 155mm thick 6061 T6 alloy.
That’s a big chunk of Alloy !

regards,
Tony.
