The only comparisons I'd make are they both cost good money and both look good. Any product can have an issue. The biggest difference to me is customer satisfaction and service after the sale. That would not be adv1....from what I'm seeing on the net. I have had several Japanese wheels and I like them but its hard to get good service after the sale from a Japanese company. Too much water between here and there. And they do have their share of issues. I prefer a US company mainly because your chances of getting good service should be better.....SHOULD be better.....nothing is guaranteed. |

Like I said, talk to the real people who own them. Not the sponsored guys, not the magazine guys. Ask them how HRE stood behind their product when the finish started peeling off or when the owners found out they bend just as easily as Rotas. I'v never owned HREs myself so I can only rely on the experience of others. And I meet a lot of guys through what I do. I never said anything about HRE and fraud. As for history and racing, I do recall them being banned due to too many failures a few years ago. Anyhow, Japan is at the top of the food chain when it comes to forging aluminum alloy. |

My main problem with ADV1 is they did not respond with initial courtesy, then tried to deny or refuse to rectify the issue, then tried to pretend they were so helpful after finally agreeing to help. Japanese wheels are great but I'm done with them. They take forever to get here and because they are so far away, they don't provide good service when there is an issue. The dealers make such a small profit that they can't resolve issues that should be covered by manufacturers. The wheels I'm running currently were made in America. WHen I have an issue, I call the company and they send a replacement part. That's the great part about 3 piece wheels, damage a part and replace only that part, not the whole wheel. |

And I've also had the pleasure of dealing with HRE for customer service. They really do care about their customers and make sure they're 100% satisfied. I love Volks and Advan wheels (having owned several sets), and the quality across these brands is excellent. But i'll be getting another set of HRE soon because they match great designs with quality product and support. Quote:
Also, you might want to spend a little bit of time doing some getting educated rather than listening to rumours that turned out to be bogus over 7 seven years ago. HRE was never banned from IMSA or PCA: http://www.m3post.com/forums/showpos...3&postcount=16 Last edited by sawzall; 08-29-2012 at 09:38 PM.. |

For what it's worth, a number of my friends also run HRE's with no real issues that I've heard of. Curious though, why does HRE always seem to in some way come up with ADV.1 during discussions? They're not related entities and there is an appreciable difference (IMO) in quality, history, and motorsport experience.

At one point I was up to $30k in firearms. Then started selling them to free up easy cash for M3. lol Thats how I bought my first set of Volks and Coilovers. lol My favorite is my KRISS Super V SBR carbine. Totally illegal to own in California and BATF will not let me bring into California so they stay in Maine/Oregon. I ordered a Barrett 50 BMG close quarter combat rifle and its in but I still owe 4k and I have a Thermal Optics package with MARS 6 optic. Rifle + optics = $19,000. I can tell you my collection dwarfs what you see some owners in Oregon own. I went to the range in Salem Oregon and this guy in his 50s had a minigun full auto and was dumping thousands of rounds chasing a remote control decoy. All you heard was straight auto fire for like 1 minute. Just like out of the movie "Act of Valor" boat scene. It was so much firepower I was amazed. Oregon State Police were right there filming it. Completely legal. Can you imagine the CHP watching some 25 year old kid with a mini gun full auto at the range in Oakland California. NO FRICKEN WAY. lol

Are you kidding, is this a typo, brain-fart? There is absolutely no such thing as ANY 50 BMG CQC rifle, let alone a Barrett one. 50 BMG is exclusively for long range sniping and anti-material purposes. If this was not one of the aforementioned slip ups, you've lost all firearms credibility here in one fell swoop.

You see the 29 inch barrel Barrett in the videogames. LMAO. Model M82A1CQ-SYS is the standard w/ 20" brl. & chrome bore. ... $9200 This is only 3.5 inches longer that my Colt LE6920 AR15. Keep in mind the Colt LE6920 (another felony to own in California) is 16.1 inches and the Barrett is 20 inches. Scroll to the bottom of specs page and you will see the 9 inch shorter barrel... http://www.barrett.net/firearms/model82a1 More... http://www.50bmgstore.com/50bmgcurrentprices.htm Now a pic of the actual CQC BMG.. The 50 BMG out of the videogames, Robocop, what you see in the movies.. Anyway enough about firearms. Back to original post and ADV1 wheels... Bump!

Sorry in advance for the OT....

There is a well acknowledged definition of CQB and CQC which is what most folks recognize as what SWAT or a Special Operations team does in a raid. You are fighting with bad guys at a very short range. No one would ever use a 50 BMG rifle for any thing of this sort, period. My opinions and these facts are 100% independent of any movie or video game BS. As well they have nothing to do with what is legal or illegal in California. Your proposition that I cannot be informed because I live in a State where such rifles are not allowed to be used by the public is absolute absurdity. Bringing it back to cars it is like the idiots who argue that you can not discuss the performance of a car without having driven it. Ugh. Lastly your comparison of this 20" barreled rifle to a 20" AR15 also indicates some confusion of the true role of the rifle. Maybe you aren't but the comparison is pretty useless.

This was towards Kaiv as we were having fun and you decide to bite. Nice. Again I am not here to bash as I am an owner of some of these weapons and civilians like yourself are banned from owning so thus rely on magazines and hearsay and videogames unless you are a felon or military? If you are military I am sorry to get in your face. I get tired of members on the gun forums I participate on spout out a bunch of shit and have ZERO experience with the rife, pistol, or whatever. I did not compare a 20 inch AR I said LE6920 which is 16.1 inches, but you knew that. The gun is sitting right in front of me. Thats beside the point. Do you know the purpose of a longer barrel VS a shorter barrel? PM me if you are unclear. Thanks. Anyway get this on track.
