ehehe,how true!! wont say which tyre place but its in tempe ,they had a S4 which the wheels they sold the guy wouldnt clear the caliper,so instead of putting a different offset rim,they got the angle grinder and removed a few mm off the caliper.

Its the way of the future! You may as well move production to china voluntarily now instead of going bankrupt and waiting for the chinese to buy u out.
