Hey guys (and girls) I'm in the final stages of a decision on my wheels.......

I've narrowed it down to two wheel sets:

The basic mustang "Bullet" wheels aka/ Torque Thrust II's in 17" or ......

A set of Pantera Campagnolo magnesium rims in 7x15 & 8x15:

I dig the American Salt flat Specials but cost & delivery is more than I can stand/afford right now.

Any thoughts??
Ideas?
Pros?
Cons?

The wheels are costing me $800.00 to the front door.

What are you putting them on? You don't see those mags very often...

If you are planning these wheels for your 46 Ford I would go with either one. Those Pantera wheels are unique no question. The potential downside is performance rubber for a 15" wheel. 17" is vastly better for tires selection.

Thanks guys ....... I was looking at the uniquness of the Pantera wheel but as Tom said - I'm limiting myself on tire size & performance value.

The benies on the TTII's is they are plentiful on CraigsList.com & fairly cheap (for what you get).

I dig the pantera's cause they are A. Magnesium B. Very unique - I've yet to see them being used C. Magnesium

I'll have to take the plunge soon as the rear & 4 link set up will be in from Chassis Works soon......
