We sell VTO Wheels, their Classic 8 is styled very closely to a Panasport.
One thing that you need to be aware of is the front hub register is larger than the typical 73mm centerbore. Most wheels, Panasport, Rota, even VTO come in 73mm, but no larger. We offer a 1/8" spacer that allows the wheel to clear the hub.
The next potential issue is the studs are quite short. They work fine with steel wheels or the shank type nuts used on older aluminum wheels, but they may need to be longer to work on alloy wheels with conical seat nuts. The Panasports and VTO wheels fall into this category because they both use steel lug nut seat inserts. We alsohave longer studs to resolve this.
Take a look on our website under photos, we have a couple pictures of customer cars with VTO wheels we have sold.

Greetings.I"m still looking for used rims for my 69' 2000. I prefer the popular silver Panasport 8 spoke but would be fine with Rota, Watanabe, etc. I would like to get 15" but 14" would be fine too. I need tires so if they have good tires, all the better. I think I want to stay away from 2 piece rims , but if there are advantages to having them and no big disadvantage (other than needing tubes), I would consider it. I"m not even sure how big of a negative having tubes would be.I'm in no big hurry, I just want to replace these narrow stock rims so I can get a little more rubber on there. If you have something in mind, please let me know the brand, size, age, condition, offset, whether you have the caps, and include pics if you can although you can always send those later if I"m interested in what you have.THANK YOU
