What's funny is that I finished going through the whole thread about their certification. So let me guess... this wheel was not TUV certified because it isn't in the M3 collection?

3/15: Received (2) 22x2.5 outers from Supplier and sent outers to finish
For the normal crew stating we suck, our product isn't forged, etc... The step lip cracked, and the step lip is from the same supplier that everyone else in the industry uses. So lets stop the quality hating right there because it's not an ADV.1 specific part failure. It could've (and does) happen to every wheel company when you produce any product in volume.
Beyond that this set was originally purchased in 2010. And this is not directed at Eugene or anyone specifically and simply part of being in the wheel industry for any wheel company - we don't know what our end users do, what roads they drive on, or how careful they are. The truth is there are some awful big potholes in the world. We've had customers ruin entire sets of wheels because they got drunk and went off roading in their 7-series... we can't protect against reckless drivers, and these wheels aren't brand new - but have been used for over a year.
Regardless - we've already taken steps to replace this wheel outside of it's warranty period to stand behind the product but a backordered part is a backordered part and that was the cause for the delay in getting a new lip out to him to fix the issue.

I'm sorry but that is not how you handle a problem. It seems like it's just lies and excuses over and over again. If the parts were backordered, why wasn't he informed? Is anything ever ADV.1's fault?
I would hope that you guys can expect the wheels to last a year before seeing any issues. The bottlecap style wheel on my E30 are most likely over 20 years old.

Adv1 was informed by their parts manufacturer that this was a big problem and would cause BIGGER problems and decided to let it go in hopes that it was an isolated incident. Apparentley not from these pics...

All of a sudden, powdercoating a set of ZCP's in Hyper Black might suffice for me
