    Halibrand Wheels for an 05 gt?

    There are these, but I think that the offset isn't quite right. I've been thinking about this myself. http://www.discounttiredirect.com/direct/searchWheelsByBrand.do?typ=Car%2FMinivan&mf=Halibrand

    Are these Wheels too ricey??

    I'm struggling with the offset a bit. As the rim gets wider, and the tire goes from 235 to 275 wide, would you want to reduce the offset slightly to keep the tire from popping out past the fender? In this case, I add 40 mm to tire width, 20mm of which goes out. Depending on clearance, I now...

    Tuners and `05 Speed Parts

    It seems odd that with the NASCAR relationship, Roush wouldn't have at least parity with the other tuners. I suppose it's possible, but it sounds like a strange way to do business.

    Tuners and `05 Speed Parts

    I called my local Ford specialist as I have an `05 Mustang GT on order. I asked why Steeda had a lot of parts available now, but Saleen and Roush weren't ready. He told me that while all of the major tuners have had prototype cars to work with, the Roush and Saleen cars "blew up" their engines...
