My point exactly. Even if they've straightened out their manufacturing issues, they STRAIGHT UP LIED about being TUV certified. So people can flash me pics of their cars with ADV1s on them all day long, the fact of the matter is they lied about a serious safety certification so they could convince people their wheels have met a safety standard. That act alone should speak for itself.

ADV.1 wheels are so gorgeous they almost defy the laws of material physics and engineering. I have never seen spokes so thin and elegant on a 20" rim with such a small area of contact between the wheel outta barrel extending to the hub.

I don't know if these wheels will fail but I can tell you they look darn good.

So there still is no certification, just like it says. "Certified to manufacture- not certified products"

Read the explanation from Jordan (owner of ADV.1 wheels) regarding my wheels.
My wheels were built using the same engineering and FEA analysis as Josh Cartu (race car driver) 458 Speciale ADV.1 wheels.
I had to show ADV.1 my GAWR stamp from my F430 last time for engineering.

BTW have you seen Aventador Dione wheels or the Ferrari F12 TRS wheels? The stock wheels on these cars are similar to mine with thin spokes.
And for sure Avent or F12 weigh a lot more than my F430 3200 lbs.

I see. Who has certified products for a wide range (configurations, styles, etc) of products? I know Advan and Volk do but they don't have nearly the same range of options as ADV1, HRE, etc..

Read that post from ADV... I don't care either way, but one should know they're all semantics>>> "wheels manufactured to TUV specs", doesn't mean TUV cert at all. They build fashionable wheels, not performance wheels. And their track record speaks volumes.

There is NO set of wheels worth 10k period!!!!!! I don't care if it's BBS/HRE/ ADV whatever! Nothing worth that much... Talk about markup


(disclaimer: My wheels are 17.5 lb Volk Racing wheels)

But, respectfully, people over spend on fashionable items all the time. Some people are happy with $15 jeans while other people easily shell out $250.

Again I ask, who has certified products for a wide range (configurations, styles, etc) of products? I know Advan and Volk do but they don't have nearly the same range of options as ADV1, HRE, etc..

lol HRE wheels can get to $10k also.

this thread is just a bunch of people holding onto some errors a company made a couple years ago. if there was something that happened recently, I can understand but years ago is pretty petty especially in it's more infant stages.

BTW your F430 looks great Ronnie.

that's what I said, "no wheels are worth 10k", whether HRE, BBS, ADV etc.

Sorry but yea, there are a lot of wheels that are track or "fashion" that cost near $10k. It's pretty much the luxury tax since higher end cars run it. I gotten used to it now sadly

It's dumb that's all. My Volks are just as good if not better (plus lighter) than all those wheels and cost much, much less.

He said it himself, if they mess up, then lesson learned. But he's giving them a chance.

I know Jordan personally and also had a set on my E46 M3. Many people in this thread have never had any direct dealings with the company, but are quick to jump on the hate bandwagon. They are just going with the masses and saying the same thing. Like any business, there comes ups and downs. Were things dealt with incorrectly in the past. Yes I will agree. But ADV.1 has done what they could to make right and taking things in a different direction. I know it takes a long time to build back your reputation once it was tainted, but it is possible.

what was his IG? I used to follow him but I forgot why I stopped. Just noticed he's banned on here now, wonder why.

Your Volks are not 20" right?
Why don't you just get a Mitsubishi Lancer Evo 8, put big turbos etc, it's cheap and faster than your BMW?

Been there done that. I had a couple Evos that with stock turbos would put bus lengths on your Ferrari. 20" no, I rock 18-19".. ADV makes beautiful looking wheels no doubt, but again no wheel is worth the coin they want... Whether it's BBS, HRE, ADV, etc.

My previous question to you is actually rhetorical, what I meant is there must be a reason you chose BMW instead of Civic, Evo8, STi. Those Japanese cars can be modded cheaply and be faster than your BMW or my Ferrari.
I don't care about who's the fastest or if you can put train lengths on my Ferrari with your modded Evo that cost 1/5th of the price.

And also, people with $200K+ Ferrari or Lambo for example, will only look at certain brands if they want to get aftermarket wheels, mostly either HRE or ADV1. They for sure won't choose $1399 a set of VMR/ebay wheels.

Yeah, looks like you're the smartest person in the world. And people that work hard to be successful enough to be able to afford exotic cars are all dumb and certainly don't have brain, including me :P

You're words... not mine.
If you took the time to learn about wheels and certification, it maybe a different story, but it's pretty obvious you're more concerned about appearances than structural integrity.

Still waiting on an explaination for the extra holes drilled in the wheels that could not be balanced... or all the claims about being TUV certified??
Small companies like RAC and APEX can make wheels that are JWL/VIA certified, so why can't ADV, which cost 2-4 times more and sells hundreds of wheels can't get JWL certified?? All they have to do is send a wheel to Japan to get tested. If they were JWL/VIA tested in the size I was looking for, I'd even consider them.

I have both Volks and HREs, G2 from VR, P44SC from HRE. To be honest, the quality of the Volks is no where near HREs. For example, volks have wheel specs on the stickers, Hre wheel specs are engraved onto the wheel..

I understand your point, but what have we become that we look down upon wheels due to cost and praise those who spend the most $$$. ???

you're in a different situation than exotic car owners. you're fine with TE37's or whatever Volks you have on the M3. Also this is pretty off topic and doesn't pertain to ADV1 quality.
