John the wheels look great. Agreed with Devin, the deep dish proportions of the rear wheels is bitchen. Good find. And I appreciate you reporting it here so others can benefit.
WOW!!!!

Forgestar F14's will make you a custom offset wheel and supply hub centering rings. I went with 25mm offset f/r. The wheels are the least expensive option I've found to get the max tire sizes to fit on a narrow body car short of buying used. Thru Jurrian at ModBargains the wheels were $1500 and they took 4 weeks to get.
I checked the Forgestar website, and could not find F14 18X12 with less than +36mm offset? (+36mm to +68mm)
Apparently Forgestar hasn't updated their sizing page for the F14's.
A seller of the F14's stated that the Super Deep Concave F14 is available in 18" fitments.
Available in:
18x9.5
18x10
18x11
18x12
Offset ranges are pretty similar to the 19" fitments.

I BELIEVE THEY ARE FROM PS ENGINEERING.

Yep, Augustaboy is right. Got them from Vintage wheels. I always liked the look of the GT-40 wheels from the 1960's. So I wanted the exact replica wheels to put on my GT5-S. The design of the original GT-40 Wheels were 15" diameter. The wheels I ordered were 18" wheels. As the diameter enlarges the wheel pattern gets distorted, and I had to learn that lesson the hard way. I was extremely disappointed when my wheels arrived because that is not at all what I wanted. I still don't understand why they can't keep the same wheel pattern even on a larger diameter wheel. But it's done now, so I need to live with it. However, once the wheels got put on the car they didn't look so bad. Now I actually like the look.

they look very nice. I thought PS shut down operations. Is Phil still making wheels?
My friend ordered the wheels for me a couple of years ago. The car has just finished a full restoration. That would be a shame if they shut down there operation. I did not know anything about that.

Just an update regarding the Billet Specialties Street Lite wheels I got some time ago. I wasn´t completely satisfied at first with how they came out on the car. Couldn´t really put my finger on it. A very expensive experiment! Anyway, gave it some thought and realised the setup needed much lower profile front tires, for aesthetic purposes 
These are 225 35 17 (not easy to find, it turned out)(rear 335 35 17). Now I suddenly love the look 
Wheels are 17x11 and 17x8 with 6 and 5" of backspacing respectively.

Thanks guys! And now it´s back to the reality of Pantera ownership, checked the overflow tank coolant level - empty! Ok, fill her up, and out on the floor comes the coolant... Bottom is completely rusted out.
