It does say that GT Premium gets 9 speakers and amplifier but not the wattage. However when I placed my order they called it shaker 500. The upgrade was shaker 1000 with 12 speakers and something like 1200 watts yet this says 12 speakers 550 watts. Now I'm confused.
Yes, I have done this with 2 sets of wheels. I good place will charge anywhere from $60 to $100 a wheel, but this does not include unmounting and mounting the tires. Figure about $400 - $450 total and you can have any color you want.
A lot of places use walnut shells or other less abrasive materials. If you take them to a powder coater, make sure it is a place that has experience in dealing with alloy wheels, they will know how to prep them properly.
Thanks for the info!
I live way up north! Have to find some good shop here.
If I would keep this car for 10 to 15 years and put 150K miles (with multiple trips down the 1/8 and 1/4 mile) I am going to swap the transmission fluid out at some point. It may work for 95% of cars on the road but for that 5% of us we will need to know the procedure for draining and filling it. I'm sure we will find out. Thanks for the information. It will be one of the first things I check when I get it up on ramps for the first oil change.
That is the question of the hour! Also, it would be interesting to know the durability testing that went into the transmission.
From what I've seen listed it is very similar.
Exactly. I should have said that "media-blasting" with something like walnut shells would be much better. I don't think using actual sand/silica would be a good choice on wheels. I imagine that it would pit them pretty bad.
Well, it does say this:That is the question of the hour! Also, it would be interesting to know the durability testing that went into the transmission.
Unfortunately, our beloved product guide doesn't go into that level of detail
Well, 150K miles is generally considered to be the design lifespan of cars these days. 15-20 years ago, the number was only 100K, so its moving up. But I'm not sure that 150K is low enough these either. I've got 321K on my '98 Mountaineer. I think as cars become more rust-resistant and new prices continue to climb, people will just drive old cars longer.
This is the only pic of high gloss black that I have that looks black, all the rest look gunmetal. I think this is what everyone is afraid it is going to look like.
There are few more pictures of these wheels in Tripple Yellow thread. I posted the link in this thread a few posts before. I have no problem with black wheels but they need to be in matte finish or low gloss. High gloss? :thumbdown: They look ugly.
