Man this would be so great. When I've called them in the past about getting
new wheels they were like sorry can't help you its not in our data base.  I 
did get them to tell me that they used to carry panasports but they stopped 
doing it because they thought the manufac. was to unreliable.  They would not
even listen to me when I said I am looking for a wheel with this type of 
bolt pattern and this type of back spacing and in this size. If the car wasnt
in their data base they were not going to help me....which I felt was lame. 
Don't they have the specs for the wheels there?? Shouldn't we be able to call 
and say these are theh specs for the wheels I want what ya got?? Seems like a 
natural for a web based data base.
