Still looking for Panasports...or lighter.
Seems I have now missed the boat on the last two posts.
Anyone have some they would want to sell, or rent for the season perhaps?

Don't make me beg...:( Or worse, buy new:mad:
The new prices aren't too painful - around $235 ea., I think.
The real problem is getting them. AFAIK, no one keeps many in stock to fit our cars, and getting them from troubled Japan can mean a long wait. I ordered a set months ago and hope they'll arrive within a few weeks. Prior to ordering them I watched vigilantly for some used wheels to come up for sale, but none did (other than occasional Turbo Compomotive parts).
Last I checked Neil Porter had a couple of sets of ultralights in stock...

What about Keith Averill?
It's not a case of no one stocking as much as sold out and waiting for more. Now, all the wheels (F/Ford) I ordered back in the winter, are sold. If I knew this back then, I would have ordered more. There seems to be a common problem where manufactures/importers have cut back on inventory since the 2008 financial issue. Can's blame them.
If Neil has some left, give him a call.
No idea if any good or not but here you go as I came across this on the OFFC website.

Thanks Steve- email sent!
Thread hijack - you coming out this weekend? Looks like 13 folks for group 2....

What Keith said. Not knowing what the demand was going to be and the economy being what it is, I did not stock as many wheels this season as I had in past years. Making things worse, my new order of Panasport center lock wheels that was coming as been delayed. I have a call in to Panasport to try and get a new estimated time of arrivel.
Even the new Magalite wheels are in short supply. At this time I have 3 sets of new Magalite C/L wheels and 2 slightly used sets available (two of the new set may already be sold - waiting for a phone call today). I have 4 or 5 sets of bolt-on Ultralite wheels in stock if some one is looking for bolt-on wheels.

I have a set of Panasports that I need to sell. they are old and could use some cosmetic work. If you are interested, I can get some pictures for you this weekend.
Doug, I'm interested. Sent you a PM.Quote:

Thanks.
They are 4 lug.
Hi Doug-
4 bolt, I too am interested. PM sent.
thx
Steve Barkley
I'm sure someone with a 4 lug set up will grab them. If not, I'll consider modifying them to fit my center lock hubs. That shouldn't be too hard, right (with bushings inserts)?
What bolt circle? What backspace?Quote:

The bolt circle is 3.0 inches and the offset is 3.5 inches. Weight: 9.0 lbs.
Reid, I sent you a email with some pics of the wheels. Let me know if you got it.

Are you sure about that?Quote:

In discussing these wheels with Reid Hazelton, they may or may not be FF panasports. They are not the ultralights that Reid was looking for (9.0 lbs). But they are still available if anyone else is interested.
Still looking...will trade a set of nearly new cryo'ed LD19 TDi scalloped rotors ($900) for a set.

Hi - I talked to Panasport and it looks like our shipment of new Ultra-lite wheels (the standard FF wheel) will arrive at the end of this month. Do not have a delivery date yet for Maga-lite wheels. Still have some of those in stock.
