i wouldn't sweat it man. a few months ago they admitted some of their faults and have improved over the years. There was a ton of lambos and gtrs with ADV1 at TX2k14 and doing insane speeds at the track.

The wheels won't fit without my wide body and my car isn't ready yet for that. But like I said, some people bash ADV1 and saying it's not TUV certified, meanwhile there are a lot of M3's on here with AG reps, Forgestars, Morr, Vorsteiner, etc which would be in the same boat. I don't know how these wheels would perform under heavy stress, but I have seen Lambos and GTRs going 200mph on the track with ADV1 wheels. |

People are still bringing up threads that was 3 years ago, I don't think it's fair to do so. People letting isolated threads from the past to judge the company now years later. As I said, the quality and customer service has greatly improved, otherwise I don't think I would see so many ADV1's at TX2k this year on high performance exotics. |

Anymore you don't get to run a company in such a fashion and "rebrand" without an change of the entire executive staffing, and we all know nothing of that sort took place at ADV.1. They have only worked to soil the aftermarket industry. |

MHT even now sells a Dub.1 brand, designed by ADV.1. It is kinda funny because the Dub.1 wheels could basically just be ADV.1 wheels. Designed by the same person made in MHT facilities. Roll'in on Dubs...lol. |

ADV most likely do not even engineer their own wheels. Which is probably a good thing in their case. TUV is great, but not all companies are TUV approved, and that does not mean their wheels are bad. I don't think Forgeline are TUV, but they design, engineer, and build their own wheels in house. Go to any professional race series in North America and you will see Forgeline products, and they fully support those teams.

Once you loose the public's trust, it is very hard to gain it back, even if it has be 3 years. Especially when you are playing with public's safety. I don't care that the company has changed and gotten better. It doesn't take long to prove that you are not trust worthy but it takes a very long time to earn back that trust.

Everyone and every company makes mistakes. Mistakes being honest mistakes, not lies. The key factor is how you handle your mistakes. People and companies with high integrity take ownership for their mistakes and fix them - making things right with their customer because it's the right thing to do even if it costs a lot of money to do so.
The examples of dishonesty and fixing mistakes only after the customer goes public are enough for me to never want to do business with ADV1. These aren't honest, whoops! Sort of mistakes. These are rooted in poor business and moral practices. For example, I would have respect for them if they would have said "we don't have TUV approval but here are some factual reasons why you should still buy our product". Just because something isn't TUV approved that doesn't mean it isn't high quality. Instead they chose to lie about it under pressure... Moral, honest people don't do those sorts of things, why do business with somebody like that? Especially given the owner's history of ripping off a bunch of customers when he was in charge of 360 forged. There are so many reputable companies out there that I would much rather reward with my business. I have had great experiences with HRE and BBS. I have never had to test Advan or Volk since I haven't had any issues with their products.

They seem to equate price and doing good business to quality. It's a different mentality up there. They were making personal attacks and I get the ban stick because they can't handle the truth!!???
