I've had multiple attempts at subscriptions throughout my years. I tend to get 2 or 3 issues then the rest stop showing up. GRM wasn't much help as at the time the subscriptions were thru NASA membership I think. Ehh whatever. I would like the magazine however.
And getting manifolds before the summer...I'm at Jesel today and looks like I might be here for the next few fridays too...not good for manifold production but very good for my bank account.

I can make mani's in the summer no problem, car not needed after placement on the first mani is verified. Car is needed to build downpipes. I attempted to make a downpipe jig once and it sorta works but not as nice as I'd want it to be, especially once you start adding EWG dumps. I don't know how BEGI or ARTech do it.
Sooooo someone with GRM and a cellphone please click a pic and post here!

I'd read that ad as it comes in 15x7, 8 & 9, and all of the widths are available in all those bolt circles. That's also what his site implies. Emilio knows betta. Right? Then again I did preorder 17x9 black 6ulr's in 5x100 and got grey ones cause that's all he made in 5x100 and wasn't told until a few weeks before shipment. 
But thanks for the scan newold!
It's not an ugly wheel but not as pretty as the 6ul. I personally don't dig machined lips at the moment. And I like the "dish" to the 15x9 6ul, I hope the 9" wide Rev8 has a similar dish.
Definitely a nice wheel for the price!

This.
I think you guys are reading that as rows like a spreadsheet. I believe that the implication is as Tim said. At the very least it likely implies all those sizes and all those bolt circles in various combos. I think the biggest reason these were created were to compete with the TR wheel for the Miata.
Not as attractive as I'd hoped, but what do you want at that price point? Function over form.

This was his reason for not making them previously I believe, not enough interest. 9's are fine for 225s, and not many wanted to spend the money on 275s. I'm wondering what changed, either in manufacturing cost or demand.
That or he just needed to make some for himself, and decided to spread a little love.
