.... have not seen/heard of any structural issues ... but
Not a fan of Morr wheel at all after reading so many customer complaints of their after sales service and the inability to work out the solution with the customers. There are a few threads on the 5post forum. |

While I have not heard of any failures there have been a few reports of delays and late completion dates. Seems you guys never deliver when you promise. Why is that? |

As for delivering on time, I know MORR had issues with some group buy's early on when demand was much greater than they were prepared to handle. They were getting held up at different steps of the wheel preparation. I haven't seen much lately about delay, but don't follow other boards for wheels. . .

.The now owner of ADV1 is Jordan .The now owner of 360 is Forged Distributing .The previous owner of 360 was Jordan Okay.... So when I ordered my wheels a few years back 360 was going under, this is why a lot of people were not getting their wheels on time if at all.... Then in comes Forged distributing a company that owns various wheel brands already. Forged Distributing buys out 360 from Jordan and makes good on the backlog of orders although this does take time to catch up. Now soon after Jordan starts another company.... ADV1... This company has nothing to do with 360 anymore.... Just to clarify I had my 360s for over for years... Sold them to a friend and then he sold them after.... And as far as I'm aware they are still going strong.

Not sure where most people's frustrations with the wheels comes from. Essentially ALL 'Forged' Wheel companies (short of Japanese/German Companies) come from the same place, MHT/COR. So quality you'll get from ADV1 is no different than 360 Forged/MORR/ISS etc etc etc.
If you want to bitch about shitty service, that's a different story, wheel quality is identical. |

And that is why I have never owned a "FORGED" wheel and probably never will.

Wheels and tires are the most important thing to any car next to the driver. You put the lives of your friends, family and even kids in danger when you support these kind of companies to continue business. Just because Jordan is no longer working there, it doesn't mean that the 360forged wheels quality has improved. They are just as bad and unsafe. Not only do you put yourself in danger, but also the general public.

so i have a question, how come ADV.1 is able to put rims on sooo many high end exotics? do these people just not know? or... what? I'm not trying to bash, but this thread seems pretty apparent of their quality, so i'm curious

Marketing is everything now a days, perception plays a big role here. People automatically think that the wheels are quality just because Ferrari/Super car owners roll on them. Most super car owners don't even drive their car, surely enough the "safety" of these kinds of wheels can be never tested in real life scenarios by supercar owners. Forged wheels are like breast implants, sure they look like a million dollars but they will never come close to feeling like the real thing. Silicone or materials used in the breast implant could be fatal to the person in the short or long-run just like using lower grade materials (third world country imports) for forging a rim. I am not trying to technically "bash" on a company, but I just want to keep the buyers aware of what they are truly getting. Here we are with some more information to back my claim. http://www.importgenius.com/importers/cor-llc http://www.importgenius.com/supplier...yin-industrial Now you can throw this "proudly made in USA" idea in the trash. Any so called "american made" forged wheel is just as bad as Rota's made in the philippines... Knowledge is everything in this world, it is what keeps us safe and make the right choices. I hope you guys understand I do love the look of forged wheels, but the quality is what sets me back from actually owning them.

It's a shame that companies like ADV.1, Meisterschaft, Vorsteiner... Completely rip people off with their cheap made products yet admins let them participate in their forums. SMH
As for this subject, a brother said it right here. Do not mess with Tire/Wheel combo, if something goes wrong with any of them the result will be ugly. Always buy things from people who care about their reputation. |

The quality and reliability of any wheel comes from material, manufacturing process, quality assurance, testing and the design (i.e. size, shape, thicknesses, etc.). Any of these can be dominant factors. Just because some of these are common across two different products does not mean all of them are common.

You know honestly with these 20 and 22 inch wheels and cracks it can be half the manufacturers fault and the owners.
I am thinking a 22 inch rim with a rubber band size tire + bad road conditions anywhere in the world can equal these kinds of cracks. I have seen it in brand new Volk wheels and BBS wheels years back. Forged or not most wheels cannot stand up to this going 100mph and hit a 2-3 inch crack on the freeway or highway. Now this over a year period can crack spokes etc. We all hope our wheels will hold up but fact of the matter is most wheels will not. Thats reality. Let me guess 20, 25, or 30 series tires? I am not going to sit here and debate this but just throwing it out there.

Guy, what are you talking about? All the aforementioned companies use THE SAME EXACT HARDWARE. Which explains why i've replaced a "360 forged" lip with an "ISS" lip, WHY? BECAUSE THEYRE BOTH COR LIPS. Consistensy, it really takes no special skill to start a wheel company, it's a common formula that has been repeated, same hardware, same parts, essentially same wheel. |
