People have started smear threads against other vendors here too...so you have to consider both sides. I guess this conversation is pointless because I can't see any of the "internet evidence" in question.

You should see what goes on, on the e90post side of things. So many threads got deleted back in the day, just like the vossen one. It's ridiculous. It's about who has $$$$ at the end of the day.

Its a private forum guys. Its purpose is to make the owner(s) money. Sponsors deleting threads or posts is pretty much standard as near as I can tell from the forums I have been on. Not saying I like it but pointing out that this forum is about par for the course in that regard.

1. i'd venture a guess that outers are simply received from triangle with zero destructive testing to even validate temper. aluminum is a very complex medium to work with; it's not just a matter of buying a solid 'forged' billet from some vendor and throwing on a fancy 5 axis. $5 says the top 'engineer' at ADV may fail miserably if asked how one should properly inspect incoming material, let alone understand how to determine a statistically significant number of outers to evaluate to ensure quality standards are maintained. forget talking about selecting the right aluminum alloys or why a wheel would crack. 2. the fact that there are even any discussions about cracked ADV wheels is enough to keep me away. the onus is on ADV to prove themselves, not by the number of wheels sold or the number of idiot exotic car owners that they can offload their crap onto and snap some photos, but by proving how they'll NEVER allow this to happen. to say that they buy their barrels and billets from the same vendor the 'everyone' buys them from and that 'everyone' will have this problem is f***ing bullshit. story then changes to being it's small 'batch' with an 'issue.' if you allow them to get away with that level of stupidity and lack of sound engineering, you're a f***ing idiot, and i question how you are able to make a living such that you can afford to spend money on this type of stuff.. a world-wide network of idiots support idiots i suppose ADV, it's up to you to recover your image. i will sooner live with OEM 18s than get near your shit.

This is why I spend a little more and buy wheels that are meant to be driven on these cars. All of these fly by night companies are not grabbing my attention and i fear those who buy into their marketing approach.
I can't remember how many of these companies go out of business after their poor material and customer service becomes public on these forums. My personal taste (not based on looks) Hre Bbs Volk Those are the norm anyways when talking about high end wheels. I've had experiences first hand with adv, Vossen, Iforged, Forgiato, and my friend had Sevas which lets not even go there. It's not like a set of forged Adv wheels are much less expensive than a higher end wheel. I think they're overpriced, especially on their cast lineup. To each his own

Regardless, Ill take my chances with the above 3 companies any day. In the end of the day, i can sell a used set more easily and for more then what I can get for a set of ADV1, DPE or any new forged wheel company in the classified...that been sitting there for months at any forum.

I'm sorry, but can I ask you what the intent of your message is? Don't tell me this is one of those "I'm in your area let's meet face to face and duke it out" sort of kiddy stuff.... I can't sit here and say that I've agreed with everything that Pinhead has ever said, but if you're taking a Top Stitch/Ranz approach to people, then maybe any negative reputation that you may or may not have is well-earned.
I hope I'm just misinterpreting it, though with your quoting a troll post and your response being akin to "bring it in person" I find my imagination stretched for this.... Tony, you don't have to take my advice, and I certainly don't expect you to, given that this is all the internets, but I think you could really learn a thing or two from Jordan's professionalism. I had to go back and read it again in post #200, the way he attempted to resolve the situation was if nothing else at least admirable.

I appreciate the advice but I don't believe I've come across unprofessional at all. I agree that Jordan has handled a very serious situation in an admirable way! I apologize for maybe coming across too aggressive. |
