Dymags help smooth out those rough Michigan roads
Fred writes in, "I installed the Dymags on my '97 YZF 1000 at 4000 miles. I now have 26,000 miles on the bike with no problems, riding on very rough Michigan roads."
Both the wheels and the bike look great! Thanks for writing in.

Dymag going to LeMans with BMW
We're really pleased to report that BMW will be rolling their M3 cars at several endurance events as part of the BRITCAR championship series. The cars, driven by Harry Handkammer and David Leslie recently won both races in their class and will now move onto SPA for the next round.
It's cool to see the Dymag logo hugging the corners as they come round the bend.

Happy Repsol Customer
Tom Levers writes in:
I recently purchased a set of your cast mag 5 spoke wheels for my '05 REPSOL 1000RR. I have attached a photo, if you care to put it on your website, to show you how GREAT they look. The customer relations that DYMAG exhibits is first class. EVERY email that I sent, regarding my order, was answered quickly and the information that I received was always very informative. I just want to say, "Thank you for an awesome product, it has raised the appearance level of my bike tremendously". I am completely satisfied with your product. The quality and appearance are second to none. Thanks again for a great product!
Very glad you like them and we must say that your bike looks FANTASTIC!

Dymag wheels on the world's quickest electric car
How would you like to have a car that not only gets 170 MPG but can also go from 0 to 60 in just 3 seconds? Ian Wright, a former Cisco engineer has built such a car and bested both a Ferrari and Porsche on the race track
In the first race the X1 beat a Ferrari 360 Spyder in both an 1/8 mile and 1/4 mile race winning the later by two car lengths. The second race against Germany's fastest street car the Porsche Carrera GT was a little closer with the X1 only winning by a half of car length. The driver of the Porsche Kim Stuart said "It never occurred to me that I would lose. It was like a light switch. He hit the pedal and was gone."- via Gear6
More specs, details, and a video at Wrightspeed, the maker of the X1.
