Being the impulsive buyer that I am, I picked one up.

 

Is this a good brand??? hehe, perhaps I should've asked before buying but it ended today, and $35 ain't a bad deal, and I always wanted one of thse :-D

 

Oh well, as long as it works, I'm happy :oops:

I figured, for $35, who cares? :)

 

Better not wait till Friday, this price is for TODAY ONLY.

 

As for +25mm offset... I've found Mustang wheels are the only ones that are close. Never tried any personally, but many people use that bolt pattern (5x114.3mm) on W-bodies and it fits fine.

This is the review of it. Not so hot, apparently. It's about the 7th one down

Yeah, I saw someone mention that on another forum. However, someone else countered saying that site is very biased because they get a lot of their funding from one of the radar detector companies (I have no idea which one).

Could be. The top rated ones on their site are Beltronics. Hmmmm :wink:

 

Do you know anybody who actually tests and writes reviews of these things? 9 out of 10 sites have the same marketing bs for a review.. :bs:

Um, I've been trying to use mine, and like...

ALL IT DOES IS FLASH "LASER" AT ME ALL !@#$:cuss:ing day

 

Apparently everywhere I go there's a laser beam aimed directly at my radar detector. It doesn't give up, no matter where I go, it's "bleeeeeeeep" .."Laser" .."bleep bleeep"

 

until I get to my driveway, or the parking lot at work.

 

Am I to assume that everyone's playing laser tag with my car?

 

Grr...

Worst Product Ever.

I have a Whistler. It does the same thing.

 

Apparently bright enough sunlight sets it off. Judging by what I read, this is a common problem with lower-end radar detectors.
