Skirts off FTW! OK, it does look better with them on in this case.

So how'd that situation with the rubbing on the inside rim play out?

Nice !!!! Side skirts really make a big difference. I was not a big supporter of them at first until I stood next to an M5.

Nice and smooth on the good roads, pretty bouncy if your riding on crappy uneven roads. For me it's been a great investment since I rarely drive on bad roads.

The other rim was fine and no damage to the car or suspension. Last year I went through a car wash where you go in neutral and it pushes you along, I think thats what did this
