Panasport does not make knock-off wheels. They make bolt on wheels. I have
light weight racing Panasports on my BN7 racer. The wheels are 6"wide. You can
safely run 185x15 - 70 series radials or 5.50 x 15 bias ply tires. The
Panasports on my race car are lighter than 60 spoke wire wheels, but they are
not DOT approved for highway use. You can buy Panasports approved for highway
use in sizes 15 X 5.5" or 15 x 6", maybe even narrower - but why would you
want to. Make sure you know the correct offset (back space) before you order.
