They came out and admitted that it was fake later on after it was posted. Supposedly they had recently had their facility TUV certified but who knows. I can't remember if it was in this thread or not.

They now claim to have their own facility? I thought they source their wheels through MHT; they just design wheels.

I'm baffled as to why they would show a fake certification letter, knowing hundreds of people on this board, and other boards would see it.

Where's the shot of the ADV.1's that were sent to a customer that had an extra set of holes for the fasteners?


WOULD NEVER BUY ADV.1's NEVER

Not even for 1/2 of the outrageous prices they sell for.

Exactly. I have a set of Volk's and sometimes I find myself looking for something new. But I always come back to the same 4 brands. I read somewhere only BBS, Rays and Neez are the only wheel companies that have this 8,000 ton forging press.

If the wheel isn't constructed using this process, then why bother changing from OEM?

Yeap. I wouldn't pay $8grand for a wheels set, but if I pay few grand it would only be for known brands like:
- BBS
- Volk (Rays Eng full line)
- Work
- 5Zigen
- Enkei
- OZ

Known brands for their quality.
