yes, one please! i would be stuck to my tv if i ever win this player.
Haven't had an Oppo since my old region free PAL-converting DVD player.
Love my Oppo BDP-83... But this would be an awesome upgrade!
So I'll be happy to win a 95... Or for all those in the forum saying they need a 95 because their 93 is sooo old and worn out and they need the latest and greatest. I'd be happy to take the 93 off your hands.
This would be such an awesome thing to win.
I'll take one to go, please. :)
Even more incentive to continue to visit. This is just the cherry on top.
This sounds like a perfect opportunity to upgrade my current tv to a model with 3d specs :-)
Yes, I would like to become a home theater blu-ray audiophile!
This equipment, is worth it's own weight in gold.
Just what i need for my home cinema.
For the record, I would also accept the player's weight in gold if that's an option.
I am not OPPOposed to winning this unit.
I am not OPPOposed to winning this unit.
Its not abt who needs it its abt what it needs
This will be a fantastic player to upgrade from DVD's, cheers.
Bought the BDP-103 a couple of months ago and I love it! But I would love to have the 95's Sabre DACs and XLR outputs to hook up to powered studio monitors. I hope I win this awesome sweepstakes! Thanks Oppo and Home Theater!
They don't know how to make a bad product. Love EM!!!
I want this bad boy in my home theater system!
I would be truly honored to both win and own such a fine piece of gear.
I'll will name my first born child Oppo and my second, Oppo the II
have an Oppo DV-981HD and need to replace - Oppo is the best
This would be a great upgrade from what I have now.

Lighthouses were once the saviors of the seacoast. Their bright beacons and resonating foghorns cut through foul weather, warning ships of impending danger and guiding them safely back to shore. In this age of radar and GPS, lighthouses no longer have the life and death significance they once did, yet these distinctive structures still carry the romance and drama of their pasts. More than 60 lighthouses dot the Maine coast from the well known Nubble Light in York to West Quoddy Head, the easternmost lighthouse in the United States.

How do you "Unplug" your governor?
I have a 2007 Silverado 1500 wt with a 4.3 v6 and i wanna know how hard it would be to unplug the governor.

03-15-2012, 01:54 PM #2I think this is more of a computer function than just simply unplugging (someone who knows for sure will have to clarify). Another option for you would be to use a programmer if disconnecting/deactivating will not work

03-15-2012, 02:57 PM #3Like mfleetwood said it's more of a computer function.
The question I have is why do you want to turn off your governor?
With a 4.3 and 32" tall BFG's I dont think reaching max speed is much of a problem, your probably already out of gear and HP around a 100mph, which is around where the governor is set.

Oh without a doubt a programmer is way cheaper than the tech2, but being a mechanic and dealing with a lot of gm products it was worth the money. Espically because i didnt buy it haha
03-24-2012, 04:36 AM #9not to be a downer or anything but also at that speed you have to be careful with your drive shaft and your u-joints. there not ment for crazy high speeds. but like stated you have to have a tune or a programmer to remove it

05-09-2012, 01:24 PM #10while the V6 wont offer up much more you should just get a programmer Diablo is what a lot of people get too, this will give you more power in your useful range and give you much better passing rpm power. or you could get a custom tune. Even my big heavy suburban showed gains with just a hypertech. the rpms gained much easier for passing or merging onto a freeway. I also added a K&N intake and true dual exhaust, I also did these in stages and could feel and see (via tachometer) improvement. I also gained 1.5 mpg with all of this, so that was the biggest improvement for me.

text: Natural, a real live Paul model, same year, same color, same model as the one Sir Paul McCartney uses to this day. 690 were shipped that year yet we've only seen two others in 25 years. We've seen lots of sunburst models and lots of ''65s. But a solid crack free '65 FT 79N is a rare item. This one came with a factory original plastic bridge that we replaced with a Brazilian rosewood bridge that matches the fingerboard. Has a 60's ceramic adjustable saddle and old bridge pins. Otherwise no other repairs, a nice big neck, looks like Adirondack spruce top with a nicely yellowed finish. Also has the original tuners. We found a Red Wings sticker so you could be just like Paul. Also comes with a late sixties deluxe hard case with arched top and brass fittings. The guitar is all set up and has a cannon like tone that will really surprise. It is one of the loudest Epis we've ever had, simply delicious. $5500 On Hold

Fashion compromises don't usually work. Take the kitten heel for example. It doesn't have the transformative superpowers of a killer heel, nor does it have the chic quality of the ballet pump. The midi-skirt, on the other hand, is one compromise that works.
After half a decade of thigh skimming dresses and a general obsession with showing skin, we're all over the mini. Even Balmain has moved on and considering that the brand has always been amongst the big supporters of all things mini, that's a big deal. The maxi has also served it's time, especially after the whole boho trend that never really went away, so the midi is the perfect balance.
It's been around for a while. Marc Jacobs was amongst the first to resurrect it back in 2010 with the Louis Vuitton fall show and ever since, everyone from Victoria Beckham to Dries Van Noten have championed the length. At Burberry this season it was all about showing the style on mixed fabrics like plaids and tweeds and Sarah Burton opted for tartan and leather on skirts and also tapped into the length on coats with strong cinched waists at McQ.
What these brands showed is that the midi length doesn't need to be stuffy. Granted, it's one of those trends that will catch on in the mainstream amongst the more mature woman, aka the women that still have money to splurge during this recession, but there are enough reworked pieces to keep everyone happy.
It was this image of Caroline Issa that convinced me ad fellow editors like Giovanna Battaglia, Taylor Tomasi Hill and Shala Monroque show just how versatile it is. So how to style it? Well if you're going for a polished look I'd do like Ashley Olsen and tuck your top in. As well as emphasising the waist, it also helps elongate the body, which, I'm sure, is music to the ears of anyone that doesn't have model length legs. For a more casual day look this season, team it with thick wool tights, hard wearing ankle boots, knitwear and a biker jacket to give it a tough edge.
If you're still undecided, just give it go. While it has very much been the maxi's underrated sister, the midi has slowly been gaining traction over the past few years so you can be rest assured that it'll have staying power.

Packers Playbook (aka Hobbjective Analysis): Week 16 vs. Tennessee Titans
My, where should we go for Hobbjective analysis this week? I mean the entire game was essentially a highlight reel for the Packers, and to be honest, I'm not entirely sure how accurate much of the second half is in terms of execution because it's pretty obvious that the Titans have stopped trying at some point and just want to go home.
One play that I think hasn't gotten as much attention as perhaps is warranted is Ryan Grant's first TD in the 4th quarter. The reason why I say this is because it's one occasion where the Titans should be 90% sure that it's going to be a run but they still manage to get blocked out of the play.
The Situation: The blowout is almost over at 41 to 0 and the Packers just need to burn 12 minutes as the Titans stopped trying back in the 2nd quarter. To make matters worse, WR Jeremy Ross (he of the "punt, pass and puke" play from last week) rips off a 58 yard return subbing in for an injured Randall Cobb. The Packers start the play off at the 7 yard line.

3 things you can do to improve your visual thinking
Visual thinking is a learning concept that is not new to everyone. In fact, there are some who know exactly what visual thinking can do for them and how to use this kind of thinking to its fullest. While statistics show that only a small portion of the population had relied on visual thinking, the advantages that it brings are quite useful and productive. The concept of visual thinking relies on what images and objects we see in our environment. The brain then breaks down these images and then organizes it for data interpretation. Visual thinkers are often recognized as creative and imaginative in which they persevere to make their realistic imagination into reality. If you think that you have this kind trait, then you are probably a visual thinker as well.
Enhancing or improving visual thinking is easy if it is done right. Achieving such feat can lead to various advantages in many aspects of life. This means that when you improve the way you think, the possibility of having a successful and comfortable life is up for grasp. Here are 3 simple techniques to improve visual thinking.
Open Eye Visualization
This is a simple technique where you only need to exercise your visual thinking by looking around your surroundings and try to imagine or add things onto the images or scenery that you see. It is more like dreaming but in a conscious way. This technique will not only help you to improve your visual thinking skill, but it will also enhance your ability to control your brain efficiently. For example, looking at your desk, you see a paper. Now imagine that you have a pen which you can use to write on the paper. In order for your brain to completely visualize everything, you need to command it to feel the grasp of having a pen. By doing this, you actually need to hold your thoughts and make it feel like the pen is real. This technique can actually improve your way of imagining things basing on what is actually real.
It is a visual thinking enhancer technique that is simple and easy to do. You may need to have a recorder or a partner to monitor the outcome of this technique. To start this technique, you may need to observe your environment. See things on a detailed perspective and do not miss anything on your sight. After doing this, you then need to close your eyes and try to imagine the images in your environment. Use the recorder and start describing the images that you see in your imagination. While you continue to describe by details, other images will tend to flashback in your head. Once this happens, you need to describe it the way you see it. Practicing this technique will surely improve your imaginary skills which is vital in visual thinking
Shape Visualization Technique
This technique vastly improves your ability to visualize and imagine definite shapes. You only need to cut a white paper into a defined shape such as in circles. You then need to cut various shapes such as square, diamond and triangle in a black paper. Once you have done it, hold the papers and stare at them for a few seconds, then close your eyes and try to imagine the shaped papers in your mind. Try to grasp the images in your mind for a long period of time. This technique can improve the clarity of your visual images in terms of shapes.

I am very disappointed with my recent purchase of this mattress pad. Nowhere on the packaging, mattress pad or paperwork did it refer to "Beautyrest", nor did it indicate any type of brand. It came wrapped in cheap plastic with no indication as to what I had purchased. I decided to keep it because I figured I was getting what I paid for and it is used on a guest bed. I also didn't want to go through the hassle of shipping a $xx item back to Overstock. But if you say it's a Beautyrest, it should be Beautyrest. This is the first time I have been disappointed with an Overstock purchase and I have bought many things from bedding to chandeliers but buyer beware on this item.
This mattress pad has a material that is scratchy to the touch and feels like it is very very flimsy. I am returning it pronto. i\It's just not worth the savings. Find a better quality pad!!!
The description never stated the thread count. It looks like less than 180. UGH! Haven't washed it or put it on the bed but, it feels cheap and looks cheap. I trusted the name "Beautyrest" ... Guess that isn't enough anymore. I'd return it if I wouldn't lose restocking and have to pay return shipping also. On a $**** item it's a time waster.
This mattress pad fell apart before I could even use it! It ripped through all four corners as I was putting it on my mattress. You could literally take your finger and rip through the sides. It it a cheap piece of junk! Don't waste your money on it!
Pad appeared fine just out of bag and the sides were nice and deep and fit over my deep mattress and extra memory foam topper. However the first time I put pad on bed the horizontal seams ripped on one side of pad. Sides are poor quality. Spend the few extra dollars and get a quality pad. Dont waste your money on this one.
We have an air filled expensive mattress. The deep pocket bedding doe not fit. This mattress pad fit perfectly.
Just what we needed to complete the installation of our newly purchased mattress topper.
Nice mattress pad cover however the under pad material is not quality. More of a paper type substance & not a quality cloth material.
Look forward to crawling in bed at night! Super cozy!
I wash all my bedding in hot water due to a dust/dust mite allergy. This mattress pad came out fine in hot water wash. It has a 100% cotton cover but the padding underneath is 100% polyester. It dries well too.

GNOME 3.0: Fear Not!
Does GNOME 3.0 necessarily need 3D acceleration? Do GNOME 2.0 apps run under 3.0? A website tries to provide answers to some unsettling questions.
With the change-over from GNOME 2.x to 3.0 in September 2010, many users are expecting problems similar to those of the KDE 3.x update to 4.0. GNOME developer Paul Cutler was thus compelled to issue a blog to address the issues.
The associated GNOME3Myths wiki page is now online. It tries to dispel the 3.0 myths by addressing six specific points:
- Does GNOME 3.0 need more graphics power and active 3D acceleration?
- Does it continue to support the current panel and the popular window manager?
- Will GNOME 2.0 programs continue to work on 3.0?
- Will the Nautilus file manager be completely replaced with the Activity Journal?
- Will 3.0 depend on Mono?
- Will all apps need to be ported to 3.0?
The wiki is being actively maintained. The entries related to the release in September are likely to grow fairly quickly, considering that the current responses in Cutler's blog still reveal a lot of uncertainties.

By Leah Fletcher
There are lots of articles for beauty salon staff on the topic of how to provide good customer service. But what about being a customer? Knowing how to be a good customer is as important as knowing how to treat customers. Salon owners are quick to agree the subject does not get very much attention, but it should.
The level of customer service you receive at a beauty salon can make or break your experience. And according to Bernard Grant, owner of Visions Hair Salon, in Mount Laurel, New Jersey, clients who experience superior customer service are likely to be repeat customers, and may recommend their services to family and friends. "On the other hand, recollections of poor customer service can be passed along just as quickly and adversely impact the amount of new business a salon receives," explained Grant.
The savvy salon owner also recognized that in an age where business reviews and ratings are frequently posted online and viewed by millions, superior customer service is essential to attracting and retaining clientele. However, he points out that customers play a vital role in the transaction. Following are a few recommended tips.
Communication is key
Understanding your needs and communicating them to your stylist is essential. The key to receiving excellent customer service starts with the stylist's understanding what you may or may not want. "Before you begin service, talk with your stylist about your needs and any expectations you have," said Grant, a 13-year veteran of the beauty industry. He supports clients asking questions to get a full understanding of what they are looking for, so they and they are on the same page regarding outcomes and expectations. "Address any concerns or questions you may have, and establish an agreement about what services will be performed and how they will be rendered." Grant implored.
Be honest with your stylist
If you have a request for service that your stylist simply cannot meet, and the stylist lets you know that right away. Grant advised, "Don't expect the stylist to make promises of outcomes that they cannot deliver in an effort to get your way." This is important, Grant said, because a good stylist does not want to mislead you with hype about what services she or he can deliver, especially is the services to not live up to the hype.
Keep it friendly and pleasant
Friendliness is a key element of customer service. Make your stylist feel welcome and respected at all times. Be quick to thank them for exceptional customer service. If your stylist, manicurist or pedicurist provides you with exceptional customer service be sure to let them know it. Also be sure to let their supervisors know by speaking with them directly. So often customers are quick to let a company know when something is wrong but are not so quick to let them know when something is right. Accentuate the positive, not just the negative.
Grant encourages clients who are unable to get the service they want, to speak to staff supervisors. "Often supervisors are able to be more flexible than individual employees," he said. He also advises that you don't threaten or get rude. This gets you nowhere. If things can't get resolved to your satisfaction, there are other avenues to settle your dispute. Ultimately Grant believes customer service does not begin and end with the client. "While it is important that you feel treated well by the salon staff, you must treat them well also, he explained.
The words "Thank you" go a long way
If the stylist and salon staff meet or exceed your expectations, be sure to reward them by referring others to them. Word of mouth referrals are the bread and butter of business owners. Those who let you know they value you as a customer deserve to be rewarded with your referrals. By rewarding the beauty salon business that provides exceptional customer service, you reinforce the importance of the power of good customer relations.
Being a good customer will make you an even more valued customer and likely ensure future interactions with your stylist and salon staff will result in services that meet your needs and expectations.

For a time, finding useful hair styling and grooming tips for Black men proved to be difficult. But increasingly, ethnic-oriented hairstylists and male fashion gurus are expanding the options and exploring variations on hairstyles for black men that work with their natural texture.
A facial is considered one of the best ways to care for your skin, especially when it is given by an experienced and knowledgeable esthetician. While most women hear the term "facial" bandied about and they have often thought about getting a professional facial, many don't know where to begin. So...
You are looking in the mirror and examining the face that is staring back at you. Upon further examination, you begin communicating with the visage about the desire for a new look. You ask the question: Is the answer new makeup, a new hairstyle, or a new hair color?
Nail art design exceeds the conventional manicure and gives you an opportunity to express your own creative style. Nail art, like makeup, is an easy and inexpensive way to modify your appearance when you want to match an outfit or alter your mood. Nail art services are offered in most salons.
A Hollywood entertainment blog recently featured a photo montage of high profiled actresses and models captured on what appeared to be their "bad hair days". An international model, who shall remain nameless, but noted for sporting long flowing weaves, happen to wear her hair in a sweeping updo.
The age-old debate still rages on among African American women regarding choices surrounding natural or relaxed hairstyles. There are those who prefer natural hair ranging from curly to kinky or somewhere in between. And, there are those who go to great expense to straighten their hair.
There are a variety of innovative methods African American women use extensions to twist their hair. The most common are Kinky Twists, Senegalese Twists and Havana twists. However, it's the Havana Twists hairstyle that is gaining in popularity.
As the fall season approaches, many will consider selecting a new hair routine for the cooler season. During the summer months, many African American women considered options that included curly hairstyles, loose waves and natural styles.

Lovely photos and inspirational style, but I really wish you had provided actual sources for the photos. Pinterest is great for browsing, but it is not a photos source and does a disservice to the owners of the photo.

This should spark some discussion. Bring it on!
I've read/heard that Swampscotts, Dory Skiffs, and Whitehalls all row and sail well. What are the results when they go head to head (i.e. speed under oar and sail, ability to sail windward in light air, stability, manueverablity, ease and cost of construction)?
Hear are some parameter's to narrow the discussion to my scope of interest.
Length: 15' to 17' (Limited by garage size).
Load: 2 adults, two children + camping gear.
Construction: Lapstrake (natural or ply) or strip epoxy.
Oarsmen: 1, occasionally 2.
Area: Puget Sound, WA, or local lakes.
Finish: Bright.
I look forward to your response.

ISU is what someone might call "one of a kind." It has the city setting without actually being in a huge city. It is an institution with diverse programs, qualified professors, and a field of interest for any student. And although it is an Idaho university with an Idaho environment, out-of-state and international students are welcome and included. There is a club or student organization for everybody, and if that isn't your cup of tea, there is always the great Idaho outdoors to enjoy.
ISU has a wonderful hometown feel with multiple opportunities available. The student experience at ISU, and probably any college or university, really comes down to what the student wants out of it. Pocatello can be viewed as an amazingly boring town, or it can be a fun, chill place to just lay back and enjoy life. That is definitely the word for Pocatello and ISU life in general—chill. For the most part, students and professors are laid-back and easy-going. The ISU experience is what students make of it, but most likely that experience will be one of great memories and good times in good ol' Idaho.

Weakened, Tropical Storm Flossie nears Hawaii
As much as 15 inches of rain forecast
Weakened but still bearing the promise of torrential rain, Tropical Storm Flossie spun slowly toward Hawaii on Monday.
As much as 15 inches of rain was forecast, along with winds of 50 mph and the threat of flash floods and mudslides, according to the National Weather Service.
While forecasters say the storm is running into conditions that appear to be weakening it, tropical storm warnings were up across much of the Hawaiian Islands, including Hawaii, Maui, Oahu, Kaui and Lanai.
At 5 a.m. (11 a.m. ET), forecasters said Flossie's center was about 110 miles east northeast of Hilo, making a slight turn to the northwest at about 16 mph, the National Weather Service said. Top sustained winds were 45 mph.
While airports remained open, American Airlines said it had canceled five flights to the Hawaiian islands ahead of the storm. The airline was allowing customers to change plans without charge.
Gov. Neil Abercrombie signed an emergency proclamation on Sunday, evacuation shelters are open and some government offices and schools were planning to remain closed Monday. State officials closed some beaches and backcountry trails, as well.
On Sunday, ahead of widespread rainfall predicted to total up to 10 inches on the big island of Hawaii and Maui and 12 inches over Oahu -- with isolated totals up to 15 inches -- shoppers stocked up on water, food and other supplies.
"I got my water, I got my crackers, which is important. You don't have to cook it on the stove, warm it up, dry, and I have my peanut butter at home. I usually have kaki mochi all dry," shopper Alive Panui told CNN affiliate KITV.
Kaki mochi is a rice snack.

Asia 'sources' chat up smaller Microsoft Surface tablet
We know a smaller Surface product is likely in the works. But exactly how small isn't clear.
Digitimes has chimed in again claiming, this time, Microsoft will launch an 8-inch Surface tablet in June, citing sources at component suppliers.
"Microsoft will launch an 8-inch Surface tablet in June and a 10.x-inch model as early as the third quarter of 2013," Digitimes said.
The display for the 8-inch model will be supplied by Samsung, according to the report.

Order Information
Striking the right balance between career and motherhood is one of the most stressful, heart-wrenching tasks facing women today. In Torn, 47 women explore the conflict between the need to nurture and the need to work, and reveal creative solutions for having the best of both worlds. Their stories offer hope and inspiration, but also expose the messy realities of modern motherhood: from breast pump mishaps to battles with cancer, diaper blowouts to debilitating depression, competitive cupcake baking to coming home from war. In the end, the reader can find comfort that there is no perfect mother, nor is there a perfect balance when it comes to kids and career.
"Remarkably honest and moving personal testimonies…this book is a 'must read' both for women struggling to create work-life balance and for men trying to understand the plight of the women in their lives." --– Geraldine Alpert, Ph.D., Psychologist and Professor of Psychiatry, University of California Medical School, San Francisco
"Torn is a poignant look at how a generation of mothers is trying to forge its own identity while honoring the legacy of 60s and 70s feminism. Sometimes freedom can be its own trap, and this book illustrates that principle beautifully."
– Neal Pollack, Columnist for Vanity Fair and author of Alternadad and Stretch

USENIX LISA: When 1000 Computers are too Slow
Open source developer Tobias Oetiker, in his presentation at the USENIX LISA conference in San Diego, described how he could help one thousand Windows users at Swisscom.com speed up their computers.
By Oetiker's account, the major assignment he took on was thanks to a prize he had received at the LISA conference two years earlier for his work on two open source projects, MRTG and RRDTool. MRTG stands for Multi Router Traffic Grapher, software that depicts network load based on SNMP traffic through interfaces. The effort got him on the front page of a Swiss newspaper, soon after which Swisscom.com hired him to resolve their computer problems. At the conference he reported on his unusual assignment with the talk "How to Proceed When 1000 Call Agents Tell you, 'My Computer is Slow': Creating a User Experience Monitoring System."
The reproducibility factor was the first of Oetiker's challenges: users would complain of slow systems, but had trouble reproducing the conditions or symptoms. Oetiker's IT experts attacked this from two sides. First, they passively monitored the systems by using CPV Monitor, a software especially created for this project. Secondly, users themselves could voluntarily use CPV reporter for active monitoring and send error notifications directly to the IT team. Despite CPV not exactly being free software, the benefit for Oetiker was that it used many open source packages and was written in perl.
These two solutions had a handle on many of the problems, but more kept emerging and the data collected from the 1,429 units daily amounted to more than two million entries and quickly reached a critical mass. Performance on the server suffered considerably, so the technicians decided to select a part of the assembled data, thus reducing it to 12% of its original volume, based on a random selection of units.
After problem solving in this manner became more manageable, yet another challenge confronted the team: causal research into Windows behavior and responses. Oetiker provided a number of anecdotes. To the joy of talk participants, he commented on Windows Explorer's reaction to a non-responding application: "The Not Responding message is more or less for your entertainment" and has nothing to do with what's actually happening on the computer. Oetiker's conclusion, based on a participant's question, was that "For me, Windows continues to remain a complete mystery."
One thing he could take from his project was, "From the moment users sent in their problems via CPV Reporter, they subjectively had the feeling things were getting better, even though we hadn't even begun working on a solution. They in fact were part of the solution."

Hair Replacement
Nonsurgical hair replacement can be a wonderful option for those who suffer from significant hair loss and would like to regain the appearance of having a full head of hair without surgery.
While natural hairpieces are available, many hair loss consumers have little idea what to look for when purchasing a hairpiece. Unfortunately, the hair loss industry includes some companies that may take advantage of hair loss sufferers. Research conducted by the American Hair Loss Association estimates that more than 70% of nonsurgical hair loss consumers are unhappy with the quality, service, and price provided by their hair replacement salons.

Click for Important TPMS Info.
Easy "One Click" Shopping. We have combined our most popular wheels and tires together into an easy "one click" to buy combo kit. This combo kit features four wheels and tires that are the exact specifications for your year Mustang for a guaranteed perfect fit with no rubbing or clearance issues.
Staggered Wheel and Tire Setup. Our Staggered wheel and tire combo kit run wider wheels and tires on the rear of your Mustang for a more aggressive muscle car stance that looks great on both the street and the strip.
Chrome 2010 Style GT500 Wheel. Now you can have the modern split spoke styling of the 2010 Shelby GT500 Cobra for your very own Pony. These GT500 rims feature a split 5 spoke design and a European style flange-less lip for awesome sleek styling. They are plated in a three step process that includes copper, nickel, and then chrome for a bright show winning shine.
245/45-19 and 275/40-19 Pirelli P Nero Zero Pirelli's P Zero Nero is a ultra high performance "H" rated all season tire that is perfect for the harsh weather conditions North American has to throw at it. The All Season P Zero Nero provides a winning combination of quiet ride, precise cornering and superior grip in wet and dry driving conditions.
Free Mounting and Balancing. Free professional mounting & balancing is standard on our wheel and tire combo kits - so you can just swap your wheels in your driveway when they arrive. We even offer Free Nitrogen tire fill (see drop down option above).
Application. This Staggered 19" Chrome GT500 Wheel and Pirelli Tire Kit fits all 2005 to 2014 Mustangs, including the V6, GT, and Shelby GT500 models.
Note: The stock lug nuts (13/16) prove to be too large when used in conjunction with these wheels. Please take a look at the Lug Nut Ordering Options above for some compatible options.
