I agree - there's nothing worse than 30 year old wheels that have hit God
knows how many potholes and curbs and been crushed in tire mounting
machines...

But don't forget that Panasport is not the only game in town. A lot of
folks go with the other minilite replica wheels. Moss and others sell
these.

DOn't get me wrong, I love Panasports. In fact I lust after a set of
Panasport Ultra Lites for my race car, I'm just trying to point out that
there are options out there that are less than $1k.

Then there's the ones that are more $$$ than Panasports, but we won't go
there.
