Well, I think they're great................. I have a set.
Certainly a boat load cheaper that AMG 2-piece wheels.
Clear the calipers by a mile, no spacers.
Got them from Neal at Euroteck... mailto:info@EuroteckMotorsports.com, great service and very helpful.

If this is the kind of job that needs creating, pay for it with your curbed wheels...
Sorry for you loss but unless it's a 5-star international hotel with parking in the "Bowels of the Earth", park your beast yourself in the future!

It looks like you're back to being almost a mere mortal again. What's the turnaround time on the HRE's? Those current wheels you got on now looks ok. Which restaurant was that who did the damage so we can all avoid it in the future?

Awesome!! I too was seriously considering trying to get the AMG LSD. Are you planning to do some 1/4 mile runs before and after the LSD? I'm sure many of here would like to see the results. I have read that the Kleemann LSD reduced 0-100km/h times by .2 or .3 tenths of a second.

I have my HRE's off for the winter and put the stockers back on. They look decent but I cannot wait for this crappy weather to end so I can put my HRE's back on. I'm getting mine refinished as well...had curb rash on the passengers side front & rear. Also getting something else done to them as well, but that's a suprise for later.

Tbone: the Maya's weighed 24lbs in the front and 26lbs in the rears.
AMG BLISS: Ill probably do some runs afterwards, haven't really thought about it much. I just hate having to be so sensitive on the throttle right now. I am sure the launch times will come down. I don't know how much better, worse, or equal it is to the Kleemann though.
