MANG Report post Posted October 8, 2009 teaser shot...mounted up now with Dunlop Vintage Racing tyres....not sure if I am going to have time to switch out wheels, might have to wait till spring. Opinions of the 'gold'? I included a shot of the interior and why I went with gold vs. silver. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MANG Report post Posted October 13, 2009 Jay, Great colour. happy to hear you found a set of wheels. So how many do you have now? Denis Denis, it's Mike (Jay?), unless you were referring to another post? Anyway, I ended up with six wheels (the extra is a rare rear). It is NOT refinished like the other five and is available $ if anyone is searching. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lambolp400s Report post Posted October 13, 2009 I love the gold wheels!! What sizes are the tires? Post pics of them. Where did you buy them, and at what price? If I can have a saying, change the wheels NOW, and post pics in 5 min max!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I can have a saying, change the wheels NOW, and post pics in 5 min max!! I am DYING to see the result myself, but patience....patience the tires were purchased and set up at Roger Kraus Racing in Castro Valley, CA. He is one of the few with the vintage tire selection here in the states and was only a 3 hour drive for me. They were VERY expensive, but nothing but the best for this beast Thanks for the feedback on the gold....they are definitely a 'controversial' color choice as most people suggested staying 'original' and going silver = ORIGINAL = HA, my car epitomizes 'modified'! The gold is strong and POPS! I recall it's name as 'Dupont Sungold'..I have records photos will come one day..... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lambolp400s Report post Posted October 13, 2009 Remember seing a pic of dark blue Mangusta in a book a while back, with gold wheels. That one looked just as good as a red one I have seen a photo of here or at the Pantera forum. Not the style today, but so right for show of back in the days. Was considering painting my Pantera black, and heve the wheels in gold, but that did'nt happen. As for my dream Countach, a black one with gold bravo. I for one do not think you can go wrong tith those wheels. Can't wait to see it finished. As for the cost. I am looking for period wheels for my car too, so if you dont mind, could you PM me where to get them (web-adress), and a hint on price?

DenisC Report post Posted October 14, 2009 AND, I too have got me something new to put on the car during the cold season;) Hey Mike happy to see you have logged some driving time behind the wheel of the Mangusta. I have over 2500 km (1550 miles) logged since April 30th. The car is a blast, fun to drive and draws a ton of attention. The mantenance and repairs have been minimal and done by myself; Fuel pump, battery, new valve covers and clutch. Denis Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denis Your car is stunning. I blew that photo up - twice and took a GOOD look at it. I have ALWAYS been in awe of Mangusta! And that silver/chrome "orb" in the background...did you see the old Woody Allen movie, I believe it was "Sleeper"?, where he was faking like he was a robot and he kept handling a chrome 'orb' that looked just like that, only smaller turns out it gets anyone who handled it "high", lol!
