Christmas in July!
Written by Dion on July 29, 2010 – 8:26 am -As one of our facebook fans put it, it’s like Christmas in July! With all these OEM Mercedes Benz and AMG wheels coming in, we’re like little kids in a candy store! A few more wheels made it out of their boxes yesterday afternoon for quick inspection…



And then a pleasant surprise followed while unloading our Hartmann Wheel container. The factory ended up sending us a new finish for our 20″ Hartmann HRS4-252 Wheel line-up – machined/anthracite!

As promised, we will begin going through our Hartmann Wheel back-orders as quickly as possible. Only half of what we are expecting is here with plenty more on the way so thanks in advance for your patience while we sort through our inventory and orders! As for the OEM MB and AMG wheels, we will …

OEM Mercedes and AMG wheels anyone?
Written by Dion on July 27, 2010 – 10:59 am -Somehow we went from getting 5 incoming containers to NINE!! We’re seriously scrambling… The first of six containers containing OEM Mercedes/AMG wheels have arrived and we’re just now starting to sort through the product. There is a LOT to go through so bare with us while we take a count and figure out what sizes and styles we have to work with…

There are some real nice wheels in these boxes, and we’re gonna be able to turn them around and sell them to you for CHEAP! That’s OEM MB and AMG product at a fraction of what they’re worth!! See for yourself…



Once we get each style counted and sizes/offsets sorted we will update everyone with …

Achtuning’s new B8 Audi A4 Avant
Written by Dion on July 26, 2010 – 3:12 pm -Audi’s (B8) A4 2.0T was appropriately the next best vehicle to add to the Achtuning line-up. While we had been considering another vehicle purchase for the shop for quite some time, the stars aligned again just a few days before the 2010 WaterWerks event and we took delivery of this Premium Package, Ibis White Avant. Someone must have told Audi we work best under pressure!

This A4 will be the platform we use to launch our new “Hartmann GT Performance Series” tuning program which we hope to be able to roll out very soon. In short, Hartmann Performance Products including brake, suspension, exhaust, ECU, and engine upgrades will be available in 3 separate packages.

With only two days to prepare for the 2010 WaterWerks event, we figured we’d start small and …

It’s grrrrrrrrrR8!!!
Written by Dion on July 23, 2010 – 9:58 am -It’s been a crazy, hectic couple of weeks! With a very successful WaterWerks weekend behind us, we are now focusing on our move (yep, still going on) as well as getting ready for the next 5, yes FIVE wheel containers – all expected to arrive within the next month or so. But first, let’s rewind a sec and let you know what we’ve been up to these last couple of weeks. Some of our in-house projects were kept under wraps until the WaterWerks event so those of you who attended this last weekend’s show will know exactly what projects we’re talking about.

One week prior to the WaterWerks show, the stars aligned and we were able to get our hands on Audi’s V8-FSI R8. The car arrived with only 2000 miles on the clock …
