It might help if he posted a pic or two so we can see what he's experiencing. Cupping generally isn't something that just occurs overnight.

Yup... Mine are more targeted for mustangs... But I like them on my Sling.
Mickey Thompson sc-5s...
So you have 3 different colored wheels?
What offsets are you running for the front wheels? Rear?

Basically, all 5 hole Mustang wheels are 5 x 4.5" (114.3 mm). I got interested when trying to find the cheapest route to fitting a 315 tire when I realized some Mustangs used a 315/35R17 tire and the dimensions are an almost a perfect match to a 265/35R18 tire on a Base Slingshot.
Probably more than any of us ever wanted to know about Mustang wheels here - Mustang Wheels - Buyer's Guide to Sizing, Looks, & Performance | AmericanMuscle -
Fuse info from my 2015 Owner's Manual -
Fuses / Circuit Breakers
Ignition 10A Breaker
Headlight 30A Breaker
Gauges 5A
Radio 25A
Turn Signal / Horn 20A
Fuel Pump 10A
ECM 10A Breaker
Powertrain 20A Breaker
Fan 20A Breaker
Accessory 25A
ABS 25A
EPAS 30A
Chassis Main Fuse 50A
Engine Main Fuse 40A
ABS Motor Fuse 40AI'd guess that the Accessory circuit includes the unused wires under the seats as well as both cig lighter/power outlets. IIRC, other owners have used the underseat wires for heated seats. I don't know if they had to add fuses, but they did add switches for the circuits.

It's possible to find wheels from other vehicles that match the front or rear sizes/styles for the Slingshot. The hard part is finding the same style wheel that fits both the fronts and rear of the Slingshot. For example American Muscle offers this wheel in 20 x 10 +48 mm offset - Mustang AMR Charcoal Wheel - 20x10 (05-14 All) - Free Shipping, but the matching 18 x 8 wheel is +30 mm offset. They also offer the same wheel in 18 x 10 +45 mm offset which should be on the minimum acceptable wheel sizef for a 305/30R18 tire. Unfortunately, they don't offer a similar 17" version.

On a sadder note, I seem to have noticed Krispy Kremes now tend to have abit of a laxative effect on me sometimes!
Still think they're some of the best donuts, though. -
I still like to reread most of the SF stories I read as a juvenile/young adult and am only slowly getting into SF from more recent authors. There were a lot of SF authors in the 1970s-1990s that I just couldn't really get into.
If you haven't read any of these authors, I recommend giving them a try -
Alfred Bester (especially The Stars My Destination or The Demolished Man)
Frank Herbert ( Especially Dragon In the Sea, originally published as Under Pressure). Before I studied world religions, I thought Herbert's Dune was quite something, but I later realized it was basically a story about Islam set in space.
Gordon R. Dickson (especially his Childe Cycle - Childe Cycle - Wikipedia).
I also liked Lester Del Rey, Andre (Mary Alice) Norton, Theodore Sturgeon, and lots of others that I can't think of at the moment.

I have 1 round fixed 2" mirror on the outer edge of the Slingshot driver's side mirror. On the passenger side, I have a rotatable 2" mirror mounted at the outer edge of that mirror. I highly recommend the rotating style mirror since thy can be adjusted to emphasize a specific area such as down near the rear wheel or just to the outer back side - B00XINZ8TO

Yeah, but I'd also like some more low beam lighting, too.

And.... Anybody smoking hot?!?

I watched Starship Troopers...this isn't going to end well...
"Starship Troopers", was one of my all-time favorite books by Robert A. Heinlein, but that movie piece of crap was a total travesty compared to the storyline of the book. One of the things about the book that I liked was Heinlein's inclusion of a mechanized infantry power suit with advanced weaponry which would allow a platoon to monitor areas far larger than real world militaries could do at the time, but the movie totally ignored that part of the story because the idiot director wanted mass assaults with lots of close combat (I guess it was also cheaper...). Other than character names, about the only thing the director included from the book was the level of fascism Heinlein portrayed in the book, but that also got way overplayed as far as I was concerned.
Some of Heinlein's stuff seems a little dated now, but with some updates, I'd love to see a movie made from "Have Space Suit, Will Travel," along with a few of his other novels. -
Before I bought my TD Top, I stopped by a fellow Slingshot owner's to see how hard it was to get in and out. He had a multi-mirror rear view mirror mounted to the Top and that was the first thing I bought for my Top - B006K8VHU8. That mirror allows me to see vehicles behind me as well as on both sides and does a better job than the side mirrors.

I’m glad I’m still skinny and not diabetic...
Yeah, Diabetes is nasty simply because you generally feel fine until something bad happens.

WHAT DID YOU DO WITH THE DONUTS!!!!
Ate 'em, of course! What else could I do? As an aside, The German's seem to like things associated with the Old West. We had Roy Rogers Roast Beef restaurants in the Washington, DC area along with Krispy Kreme and I always felt a combined Roy Rogers/Krispy Kreme would clean up in the German market.

actually the cruise control is additional $600. did you get that one as well @Choppa It says on the website the package is $4750 installed including labor and parts, wonder why @Choppa is lower than that...
i like the part where they offer paddle shifter! i don’t really care about the cruise control, but let’s be honest... who really uses them in SS?
I got the "just over $5K figure from the PA website for the basic auto trans install w/stick shifter and LED gear display.
At $600, losing the CC to save some on the budget might be worthwhile. -
I like to ride thru the nearby Sam Houston National Forest where the speed limit is 55 with a lot of the turns marked for 35 and just set the CC for 55. I like to see how fast I can drive a course w/o ever needing to touch the brakes. If I'm on a straight highway, I always use the CC.

If the OP is referring to this unit - Polaris Slingshot Aftermarket Stereo Wiring Harness with OEM Backup Camera Integration, it is designed for 2017 and earlier Slingshots and should allow him to hook up the rear camera to his Pioneer radio if using a 2017 or earlier Slingshot. The faceplate/dash opening on the 2018 is different to accommodate the new, larger display for the Rid Nav system. This thread is about one individual's attempts to install a radio in his 2018 base Slingshot - 2018 model s Radio | Polaris Slingshot Forum.

good read. before it triggers anyone here about driving manual is better than automatic etc...
i think polaris should have offered the automatic transmission in the beginning since they were using the same engine from polstice anyway and offered the turbo engine as well..Polaris was restricted weight-wise by some mythical motorcycle weight limit they claimed applied. I don't know of anyone on any of tthe forums ever having successfully found the basis of that weight limit. I, for one, would certainly like to know what law/governing organization Polaris relied on for their decision.
I like the pricing for the Performance Autowerks auto trans conversion since they are significantly cheaper than other options, offering the auto trans conversion with Cruise Control, Standard shift lever (shown In @Choppa's pics above) and LED Gear Indicator for just over $5K*. I have read on a different Auto trans thread that a company offering a different solution claimed they have the only properly integrated Cruise Control solution that is supposed to function properly with the Polaris ECU, so I would want to know more about PA's approach and how well their system works on boosted vehicles.
* At that price, I won't need to rob as many banks!
