Hey,

your mods list seems similar as mine. I like the way you do. I know the problem with the concaves, from this reason i build my own concave series with 3-piece wheels, so i can do a perfect fitment for every car.

Here you can see my car, in front are 9,0 x 18 and rear 11,0 x 18, needs a lot of modifications on camber and body, but for me it should must look the body/fenders like oem. The centers from my rims are very concave, so the car becomes a very agressive look, as you can see...

Oh, believe it or not... it works. Only underground parking itīs not possible, but sometimes it makes problems even with the oem suspension/height.

A pothole in the road in Germany is considered "unsafe" and often makes the local evening news mate. I've been in Germany.... you could travel between east to west borders on a skateboard
That is badas$ I never knew that. Here in California, Cal Trans workers just literally leave crap on the road for you to run over. They seem to make almost no attempt to make the surfaces smooth. It sucks. I've bent rims twice now because of crap on the freeway and it so almost impossible to get them to take care of it. Long process.

No worry, guys... in Germany many roads are really not in a good condition. Because you need a little more attention in order, not to catch a pothole. In east Germany the roads and highways are relatively new... but i live in south west.

Uh...what we are trying to say is it doesn't matter if we are paying attention or not because you cannot possibly avoid all of the potholes. Yes, it is that bad!

I have to call HRE now because there are many little cracks on the outer rings of my three piece wheels.

You have quite the collection there buddy. How do you like your masi's? I'm thinking of getting one of them next.

Plus HRE is pretty good about making sure they're customers have safe wheels. Not to mention with a collection like that. 8)

Thanks bravosd6. The masers have been great for me! Love the styling, performance, interior, dare I say reliability also. You really get the "uniqueness" feeling when you are driving a QP or Coupe...unfortunately, there are too many s class, or 911 around here.
