• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Rock Chips on chrome wheels

After 120 miles on my new RT-S Red :spyder2: I have two rock chips ( one on each of the front wheels ). Took the :spyder2: to the dealer for the 600 mile check there is nothing they can do about it. It is not a defect with the chrome :mad:

My wife and I are kinda bummed. Every time I washed the wheels I have to look at it.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to prevent further rock chips biting into the chrome?
