What are the Pros & Cons of Magnesium vs Aluminum Wheels

The longer wheel studs arrived. Hopefully they will be installed this week. Getting to the goal, which is installing those new wheels.

New wheels were then installed. Center caps will arrive this week, but I wanted to post preliminary photos. When the center caps arrive, I will post better photos and video

Longer wheel studs were installed. Not sure I posted it first or it didn’t coMe through.

And here is a quick 360 degree video with engine running, so turn up the volume.  

Congrats on getting these done.  Looking great.  Now you need to get your wheel centers.

Ordered the wheel centers from Hall Pantera. They mailed it the same day, so I should be getting them this week.

now to save money for the Wilwood brakes I want so badly. About $4,000.

on another note, what is the best looking steering wheel for a GT5 out there? Any suggestions?

Looks great! Well worth the effort.

Congratulation on surviving the challenges of getting anything done these days.

I like my Momo GT wheel but they are hard to find.  Long out of production.  The Momo Prototipo is very similar and available.

Here's another way to spend your money - dump those Hall Big Bore mufflers and get a set of Dennis Quella stainless mufflers.

The Momo Prototipo is the OEM GT5/GT5-S steering wheel. If you'd like the steering wheel to be a bit closer to you, they have a dished version of the Prototipo called the Mod.07. Otherwise, just go to momo.com and pick one you like the looks of. You'll want a 350mm diameter wheel. I have a Momo Competition and love it.

Thank you for your responses. Yes, I love that Momo steering wheel, so definitely will go with that one.

also, was looking at my exhausts today and was thinking stainless ones would look so good, so that is all the encouragement I needed. It will be done in short order.

steering wheel first, then exhaust, then brakes. In that order I think. Easiest to hardest,

350 mm Prototipo steering wheel just got ordered from Momo.  Thank you David for confirming my choice and encouraging me on it.

Is that a stick-on Pantera emblem you guys put on the Momo steering wheel? Or is it metal?  Where do you source it?  Hall Pantera?

Panterapatt...would you post a side photo of your car?  I am digging that two tone a lot.  Thank you.

Here you go

Panterapatt...it is a beauty indeed.

Panterapatt,

Your Pantera is VERY nice. Who did you buy your Group 4 flares from and who installed them?
Thanks!

Fuzz, do your homework on the brakes as not all the kits will fit behind those new 15" wheels! The up swept exhaust might interfere with your L bumper, there's another project for you.....

David:  I purchased the GP IV flares directly from Gary Hall way back in 2001.  I did the install myself prior to sending the car to the painter.  thanks.

Panterapatt,

Your car looks awesome.
