Awesome! New computer wallpaper FTW!

Should've turned that Wendy's in the background into a strip club, instead of a bush though.

More realistic that way.

I want to mention something else here, guys.

Balance was done on a road force balance machine. My tech told me that he's never seen aftermarket wheels need such little balancing weight. He's put more weight on OEM wheels. All 4 were a near perfect runout! As a nice touch, he sprayed what little weight there was matte black, to hide them.

Thoroughly impressed with the quality and finish of my CV3s.

Bravo, Vossen.

The videographer who's shooting the SL600 for Vossen, spent the day at my crib today. While searching for places to shoot the SL, we found ourselves here....

Lowered on stockers, is no way to go through life. Vossen, are you listening?

Those look great on that Rover.

Tropical Storm Lee has forced the SL into hibernation for at least another 5 days. Rain is in the forecast until Saturday.

Photo and video coming as soon as possible.

Great news and a change in plans!

Lowering links will not be used. But the state of the art, MBH Motorsport M1 LoMo steering wheel controlled lowering module will be!

Can't wait to be able to slam that bad boy, with just a few clicks of my steering wheel.

Mike and MBH have changed the game with this offering. Full details to come.

Vossen 5 spokes sure look nice! remind me of the ADV1 oriignal deep concave 5 spoke that Jon (AMGFan) has on his 65 murdered out ride...

I really like the look, goes real well with the SL shape and body lines!
