Default ? magnetic plate hold ok on high speed and pot holes?

They are now mailing tickets for no front plate in Chicago, the victim was driving, not parked. Maybe they can do it from the cameras they have set up.
Usually I just use it for parking, but now...
I just don't want to loose it and have the cops find it, LOL

Yes...tested up to 128mph and a pothole large enough to dislodge my A4's windshield.

Default LOL..yup! Its was a pothole the size of a watermelon RIGHT before a set of traintracks...

This was right after the recent ice storm we had here in NJ last Tuesday. The pothole exposed the metal rail of the track...which is what I bashed into. It was at night and I only saw the hole right before I hit it...throwing on the brakes did nothing. Wham-bam....and all of a sudden I hear alot of wind noise. I pushed on the windshield to find that the passenger half was disconnected!

Default CH's are off for the winter. Im running 17 inch RS4 DTM's...

and there are no visible bends from the outside of the wheel! I have a feeling that there may be a SLIGHT bend on the inside barrel...but nothing too big. All in all I am VERY happy with the wheels. Suspension is A-OK. The car is back on the road again and running strong (good thing too....the TT is in pieces!)
