Dan, Someone posted your clips on another site and I almost died! That's the best I've heard the SLP's sound. All the rest a raspier than your clips. How would you say all the other clips out there sound compared to real life?
Actually it has to do with the offset AND the tire size. If you put '05 tires (235/55/17) on a '99 the speedo and odometer will be off. As was mentioned the '05 tires have a larger diameter. That part shouldn't be a problem because of the 4x4 stance the 99-04's have.
So to answer yor last...
According to an AAI employee:
'05 ends: 1st shift, August 5th.
'06 Begins: 2nd shift, August 5th
Yes, '05's and '06's built on the same day. Weird, huh?
It was posted over at The Mustang Source. I'll see if I can find the thread.
No they don't make them in 18x10 yet with the +36mm offset. They have them with a +22mm offset though but it took a long time for those to come out so it'll probably be a while before they do any for the 05 if ever.
It depends on when your car is finished in relation to other cars that are also staying in the area. It could take a day. It could take over a week.
Do a search on TheMustangSource for the info. There was a lot of talk about it back when they first came out. You may even try looking for people...
That was me that had the problem with the front center caps. (as far as I know, I'm the only one with the new FR500's on an '05) The dust cap (shield) for the hub has to be removed to be able to put ANY center cap on the front wheels. I don't know if it's the same way with the Bullitt's.
You...
No they don't do tours except for special circumstances. (like what was mentioned above)
The rotory engine is only in the RX-8. AAI doesn't build that one.
I have no problem with differing opinions. I'm glad the wheels aren't everyone's favorites. I'd hate to have the same wheels everyone has. You just need to learn how to use a little tact when stating your opinions.
Look, you're the one who started bashing my car and my choices. I HATE deep dish wheels so for the muscle car look I was going for, they were the right choice.
And before anyone gets confused, your statement about offsets is incorrect.
