Reply to "offset on wheels"

A word of caution for do-it-yourself wheel-builders: please don't run three-piece racing wheels on the street. They are NOT designed to take constant stress without very frequent tear-downs, like they get on racing circuits. The Pantera community has had wrecks, body damage and total losses as a direct result of throwing a set of bolt-together racing wheels on a Pantera, and doing little except an annual tire pressure check. The bolts snap or back out, the o-ring seals leak and the rim-halves even crack in two! Personally, I'd select wheels from one of the vendors, who has done his homework, rather than literally reinventing my wheels. The Pantera is a heavy, powerful car and metal fatigue happens! Attempting to prove this wrong will only exercise your heart-rate and your AAA towing card, IMHO.
