The problems with 15" tire availability was explained at the commencement of the project. Keep in mind "customization" is not as welcome in most sectors of the classic Italian car world as it is among Pantera owners. Most of the classic Italian car world values originality. I would assume this is their mind set, and hence the reason the wheels were reproduced in 15". The point I tried to make to the wheel manufacturers was that people will be reluctant to buy unless the 15" tires are also made available. If the tires were more readily available I think the introduction of the aluminum versions of these wheels would be an exciting thing. The pricing of the mag versions is going to make them strictly an item for the true perfectionist, or the "well heeled".
Still, all said, I'm sure their are owners of GT4, GT5 & GT5-S Panteras that will benefit from these wheels being brought to market. I'm thankful that parts for De Tomaso cars are being made available. No criticism from me.
