Agreed.

The difference is the Pantera wheels. From the outside, they are identical - 15x7 vs. 15x8. You can't tell them apart - except that the 15x7 rims are usually stamped with their size.

The extra 1" of the 15x8 Campy rims is on the inside of the rim - so it has a different offset. It still isn't perfect, but bump steer almost completely goes away with an extra 1".

BTW, I have never heard of anyone installing a damper to stop bump steer. I've seen them on 4x4s before, but never sports cars. Of course, there are lots of things I haven't seen.
