Put a coat of wheel wax on them last night and found nary a flaw in the finish.

Impressed too with the Sport Maxx's - very smooth and quiet.

I think it is lowered perfectly when you compare front and rear wheel gap...

They look sweet. But I loved the HRE's and the one's before that. Why the change?

Love the wheels...but also the red brakes. Mine are pretty pathetic looking. How much were they and who did them if you don't mind my asking?

Default brake info

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/95439/hartmann_close-up_resize.jpg"></center><p>
They're a 396mm Mov'it setup - unreal stopping power and about 12lbs a corner lighter due to the 2 piece design. I bought them locally from a guy who'd ordered them for a car that got totalled before they arrived - he'd had them for a year or so and sold them for quite a bit then less half price. I think new the setup is now over $ 6k !! They're amazing and have performed with no issues but I couldn't justify that ....

If you have a D3 4.2 my old W12 385mm setup would be a great upgrade - email if you're interested in more info or pics. Need to get them out of my garage...

Cheers ~

I appreciate the offer but right now I'm not spending any money on anything but necessities. Too worried about where this economy is headed! Hopefully things will get better soon...
