Hey Gary,
Here is something else to check out. Looks like Panasports are remakes of
the old Minilite wheels. I have checked on e-bay and all over the net and
here is what I have found.
http://www.superlite-wheels.com/wheelpage.asp?cat=1
They have a panasport look-a-like for $107 USD for a 15x6 wheel.
This makes the idea of buying wheels much mroe attractive.
I have yet to find out how much the shipping is, but I will let you know.
Good Luck,
Dave
