Default The numbers from APR were 391 whp on 93 (measured at the front wheels).

IIRC, it was making 430 whp on 100.



Anyway, APR dynos Haldex cars with the Haldex disabled since it's been observed that on a 4-wheel dyno the rears don't do much of anything.

Default the salty winters will do that do any clear coated wheel...one rock chip will compromise

the clear coating and once salty water enters that...it will corrode under the clear and fissure around the compromised coating.

Default Huh. I didn't know that.

I bought my RHs used, and they already had the clear-cracking issue...


None of my other wheels have had that issue previously -- and I've had a few sets.



Perhaps none long enough to notice? ;-D

Default i think it is also a result of the quality of the aluminum alloy. our fat fives also experience

that issue...especially and mostly the centercap. most of my centercaps spidered with salt incrusted webs from a compromised clear coating. if you don't wash it really well right away to get the salt off...it will corrode under the clear coat.
