Where ADV.1 wheels come to life...

wheeladdicts · 05-25-2010, 10:35 AM

Hey Guys,

Thought I would share pictures from a visit to the factory that makes these wheels possible.

If you have a pending order you may be able to spot your wheels in there. The PO #'s are written on most of the wheels.

Hope you enjoy!

Thanks for this photoshoot! It seems like a well run operation.

I realize this may be a stupid question, but are all of these designs DOT approved?

Vic55 · 05-26-2010, 05:53 PM

So they are made at the MHT plant or are they MHT wheels?

wheeladdicts · 05-26-2010, 05:57 PM

They are made at the MHT plant and designed by ADV.1

Many newer companies go this route because these machines pictured are a pretty penny.

From my knowledge, DOT only has dimensional requirements on wheels. Currently in the U.S. there is no mandatory wheel performance/strength testing.

JWL/VIA testing is what really seperates the men from the boys. Very few companies in the US fully test to these specs. BBS does I know and the RAC wheel is also.

Guys just got word that ADv.1 will start getting their wheels TUV certified as they are in the process of opening up a store in Germany.

I will keep you informed on the progress.

Wow, that's nice to hear. TUV standards are VERY VERY high!
