So is George ramping up production?


I'm on the road again but plan to talk to him tomorrow. I do not know if he has been viewing the thread for updates. I will update everyone then.

Thanks for everyone getting their payments in!!! This has been fantastic.

Dave


Congrats! Great job!!!

This question is not group buy related it is flare related.
I cant contact the people in the know but I'm putting phone dials on and on rear I have a choice of 16 x 8 early or late offset.
The late offset pushes rim 52 mm to the outside giving a deeper look to the phone dial .
The early offset pushes rim to the inside, I hope by choosing late offset I'm not screwing up and with adapter I hope it fits right with the flares.
Sorry to bring non payment stuff to the forum.If any body knows let me know.

Phil,

I believe I am correct in my understanding. If you want a deeper look the earlier lower offset is the wheel you want. That means the mount surface of the wheel is closer to the center of the wheel, pushing the wheel toward the outside of the car. The later offset is higher moving the mounting surface further from center and pushing the wheel toward the inside more.

rec'd r_towle's and geniousanthony's payments yesterday

thx.

Sent out payments for everyone else to AA yesterday and called George to let him know we were good for the 30 plus neeeded for the Group Buy. Final group of payments will go out on Monday.

Sorry but those that have not sent their payments in have until Saturday to get them in to me or you are SOL. You'll have to wait for the next buy in 4-5 years, maybe.....

Lets hope george isnt cheaping ut on the steel and U>S or any northa american steel is better than Chinese -you guys should see the crap comming out of China that is exploding when put into a refinery application.
But I though george made them at AA ?
or maybe its gone to someone in Mexico?
Anyway I dont think he would make us shody flares he has too much to lose in the comunity yeah there is allot of car nuts -but it is still a small word

Not AA, but locally. There's a video of the place here somewhere where you can watch them being made (last groupbuy) ...

Hi,

Mia at AA has said that Rockers will ship out separately in the next week or so.

Lotsa work on her part so she needs to be thanked big time.

I thought that most would be happy that something was on the way so quick after the payment got in!!!!
