I am interested in those Campy look alike wheels from Wilkinson.  Does

anyone know what they cost?  If I was to buy them, would the 17x11 fit

on the rear of a stock bodied Pantera?  What are the

benefits/drawbacks of going with either 16x8 or 17x8 for the front?

Do I need to adjust the suspension for this wheel swap?  What are the

best tires for this set up?



Also, what are the benefits of going to the larger rear sway bar?

Are the bushings a different size for the different bars?  Whats the

best material for bushings?



One last question, Has anyone ever seen a small black plastic "fasten

seatbelt" sign on an early Pantera dash, on the right side of the

radio?  Mine has one and I was wondering if it is original.(I don't

think it is)



Thanks,



Brian
