At the line...
We were blown away that we won as we nearly ended up in a 3 way mess at the last buoy. One boat hit the buoy (several times) another was paying attention to them and failed to notice Mayan ripping along (with the right of way) and rather than tacking and heading for the finish line, they decided they were going to try and slip in front of us... Holy SHIT! 70K lbs of sailboat doesn't turn on a dime, especially when the centerboard is most of the way up, we are trimmed for going one direction and the rudder is a little on the small side for the boat. We avoided contact but fouled the mainsail boom in the backstay (the cable that supports the mast from the back of the boat) so to clear that we had to do a 360... and in doing so we fouled the jib in the forestay (holds the masts up from the front of the boat) so we had to do another. We got things sorted out and made for the finish line cussing out the boat that cut us off the whole way. The 3 boats crossed the finish line within 2 seconds of each other. We were pretty thrilled to pull that one off.

I would have to agree. Their wheels looks great on some cars, but personally I'm not a fan of them on the e30. Same with the Fatlace/ame wheels. They just don't seem to flow with the car 100% to my taste like an RS would.
Glad I finally picked up a set of RS's again.
