Congrats on the new ride Mike! And great color choice with the Mag!!! When you get a few minutes/hours there are 200-something pages of Mags to check out in the S550 Magnetic thread! I really enjoyed going thru both it and the GT350 Magnetic threads lookin at all the awesome rides.
This gets mine very noticeable again: http://adamspolishes.com/shop/exterior/wheels-tires/adam-s-deep-wheel-cleaner.html
You may have to let go of that pristine white image in your head :shrug:
As usual posting pics is taking an act of Congress sooo...to clear up any confusion about the listing here are the specs of the Wal-Mart tires I received:
Michelin PSC2s
Front 305/30ZR19 are 98Y with 4117 build date (perfect condition)
Rear 315/30ZR19 are 100Y with 3316 build date (good...
Just curious why the plastic bags? Mine are in my basement stacked identically on a workbench (cept the bags). Will be putting mine on sometime this Summer I guess....current ones are at 5500mi and starting to slip more often but still have some tread left.
Probably my last update on all of this but I received the front tires today 305/30ZR19 SC2s as expected and my total cost forthe āRā OEM spec tire set was $1,090. Thanks a ton to whomever kicked off this thread way back around Cyber Monday!
Update - good news
Noticed the 305/30R19 SC2s are back in stock with a Walmart # and Walmart as the seller (not 3rd party). Called them up yesterday morning and they issued a āreplacementā order. 12hrs later I have a FedEx tracking number and ETA for delivery is tomorrow. So pretty stoked...
First - Grats to Muligan, you will LOVE driving this car in any package that you order it! I am biased but nice choice on the Mag color...how mine came from the factory :cheers:
I never put the windows down in my cars that have A/C....hate all that air on my face, buzzing around the inside...
Haha so true! I get a taste of that when I drive my Buick. Fortunately in my case I can barely hear anything above the āblub-blub-blubā lope of the cam in that 350CID!
Regular Mag w/Blk OTT at <MSRP
Noticed the local dealer that services my R has a regular Mag listed under MSRP...seems like a good deal if anyone is looking:

There was...which I suspect is why it took 4-5wks to deliver my car on what should take about a day to drive. Avoiding it is smart on your part, should reduce the chance of it sitting in a rail car for a week or two.
I did the research, couldnt find an R for nearly 2 months and was about to go drive a Z06 when I found my car inbound on a dealerās website. Went and bought it sight unseen then waited 4-5wks for it to arrive! Coming from a 2013 Maxima Iāve had to learn quite a bit but no regrets...this board...
Why would they put the chassis number on the dash of an unlimited build? Sorry Iām short on history of how these special edition things roll out. As for allocation that is the word used by a sales person at my local dealership....and I initiated the conversation so it was pretty natural, not a...
I watched the reveal and it inspired me to rent the movie as I had never seen it. Not hard to see why it is a classic!
Just curious has anyone (other than Matt) spoken with a dealer about an allocation yet? If so have they mentioned markup at all? If so how much?
Lucky! Mine has been in the garage since Dec 26th...and that was just a quick 1/2hr jaunt so my Dad could drive it while he was in town. :tsk::tsk::tsk:
5ā11 here...5k street/paved backroad miles on my R and the Recaros in it are by far the most comfortable seats Iāve ever had in a vehicle.
The Recaros in my DD Focus ST are the tiniest bit too narrow for my broad shoulders but would not say they are uncomfortable. Still lightyears better than...
If the GT500 is just a supercharged CPC as widely believed...I am already yawning while thinking about it. Truth is as Nastang pointed out we just donāt know what it is going to be. I am very picky and love everything about my R so it is highly unlikely *any* car is going to make me start...
