I pulled the wheels off my 73L this weekend, and just for
grins I measured the backspacing and bolt circle...  4 inch backspacing
on a 5 inch bolt circle.  Is this standard for Pantera wheels?

Friends have long suspected that I have mid-70s era Corvette wheels,
because they certainly do *look* like those old C3 wheels.  These wheels
were on the car when I bought it, so they obviously work, but I don't
know if the backspacing is optimum for the Pantera.

I've contacted most of the vendors and don't really like any of the
wheels that they offer, so Corvette wheels should open up a broader
selection...  Anyone done this?
