Had some fun with the ESP turned off on a few corners. Speaking of detailing...

I did stay up late Sat. night washing and cleaning after our return. I could not let the poor thing sit in the garage all dirty overnight...<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/slc/msgs/5386.phtml">click here</a></li></ul>

All of the roads were very smooth and flat, just dirt. I drove 35 and under
most of the time and it was tame. The roads are amazingly well maintained with graders and lightly traveled. In a few short sections it was so smooth and packed down I could drive 60+ with no worries of rocks flying up. If the roads were otherwise I would have driven our SUV.

So, what Im seeing is those are not true BBS, but LM reps that the BBS cap hap to fit?
Either way, they do look great, I for one who have replica wheels can appreciate the value of saving $$. I was happiest to know that the reps on Hartmann are Made in Italy, and are not poor Korean or Chinese knock-offs, no offenses to anyone, but as they say you pay what you get for. Anyways, sounds like fun to do a little Raudi Rally in Utah. Miss that part of the country, being from Las Vegas originally.
