YouTube ADV.1 and look at their 2012 video, jodan and other presidents are in the vid talking about growth and you can actually see what their factory looks like. Judge for yourself.

Bottom line, buying ADV1 is the surest way to throw out money. Not gonna argue with you as you do it, however you'll realize just how sure of a poor purchase it was when you try and sell them later, as no one will want them for anything above the price of VMRs. |

This TT 2R Gallardo built by Trust with 1700hp+ is on ADV1 and plenty of other Gallardos and GTRs at TX2k going in insane speed: http://www.luxury4play.com/lamborghi...white-red.html That car is worth $300k+ and those aren't his first ADV1 wheels and he has a crazy stable of cars. He's trusting his life that the quality of ADV1 wheels will be able to hold with that much power. He had HRE's before the ADV1 on his Gallardo as well. I'm just saying, I seen so many 1000+ HP cars with ADV1 and people are just bringing up like a couple of bad threads from years ago. Just blindly saying a product sucks, does good for no one. |

My previous ADV.1 wheels were perfect, same as my friend's with ADV.1 wheels.
All are actual experience btw and actual owners. Most people just hate something nice that they couldn't afford. They usually just say anything like this is overpriced and junk. I can't afford a Richard Mille watch, it's a very nice piece but I don't hate it. I think my AP watch is overpriced, but I love it even though a Casio watch or my iPhone can do the same thing or better. Same with my wife's $10K Hermes purse etc, they're overpriced but I don't hate them. You prob don't know me, if for some reason I find something wrong with my ADV.1 wheels, for sure it will be all over social media, forums, jalopnik etc. |

Not sure if you guys follow Pertplus on Instagram... But he just ordered a set of ADV's for his car. This is the same guy that had a million sets of HRE and vowed to use nothing else. I am not saying anything bad about him so you guys don't take it the wrong way. All I'm saying is he spoke bad about them and is giving them a chance to make right. 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. |

Same as SW new Aventador, he's running ADV.1, Josh Cartu (race car driver) Speciale and countless other Ferraris & Lambos.
If you don't know SW, just google: SW twin turbo |

He's right up the street from me. And just b/c he does something, doesn't mean I will. I don't follow other people, I make my own path.

It doesn't matter who is running them on their cars, money doesn't buy intelligence. Many of those people may not participate in forums or know about their sordid past.
Have you seen the quality of the wheels on this thread? Have you read the stories? Have you seen how these guys handled the entire situation with the lies, fake TUV paperwork, tapdancing shenanigans and other random acts? They are deceptive. I tell everyone to NOT buy ADV wheels because of this history. They are good salesmen; this is why their wheels (Which are really nice looking) continue to appear on all these cars. When I start seeing ADV on F1/DTM/ANY true actual track racecar and not just pretty Aventadors and F430s, then we will know they have actually changed their quality control. In the meantime, they are great for static displays. Very photogenic!

Thos extra holes are for weight savings... really.
ADV has really tapped the rich folks who really know nothing about wheels. More money than brains... and yes, I could easily afford a set or two of ADV's, but why the hell would I do that?? In the other thread that was not meant to bash any particular company, but a warning to others about shady wheel companies. ADV jumped in and claimed they're TUV, then they BLATANLY LIED and said they couldn' post people over company's would copy their certificate. HRE comes along and posts all their TUV certifications for all to copy. A few months later, ADV makes a big deal about being TUV certified "now" on their website, but when people start to dig, they don't see any company associated with their "certification." .

Let me get this straight... You are swapping out parts designed by some of the top engineers in the world because some guys sponsored by a company told you it's "better??" But when you ask the same guy about tracking, "oh no, I have a kid now" or "I just detailed my car." or "i just got new tires."

Welcome to the new America, it all started with Bill Clinton lying to the entire world on television about getting his crank pulled. The problem is nobody cares that he lied about it. Same as ADV1, I think the wheels look good but if you lie to me about the certification I just dont want to do business.
Makes you wonder how many of these so called "Rich" people do business through lie, cheat and steal just to get to that status.

In regards to the wheels, you could get a set of fully custom wheels made by BC Forged for well under $5000. Also with no TUV certificate if that's the kind of things that matter to you. Just because that F430 owner is running BC Forged doesn't mean I'm going to automatically trust them too (I actually almost bought brand new BC Forged before I went with a used set of HRE's that I couldn't turn down). I don't know about ADV1, but HRE has a lifetime warranty on their wheels. When you are spending that much, this was a huge factor for me, not to mention I've never seen nothing but impeccable customer service. Like I said, you have a gorgeous car. If you are happy with everything, that's really all that matters. But I personally won't be trusting ADV.1 anytime soon after the stunt they pulled before (and not just on this forum either). Straight from HRE: HRE wheel failures?: HRE has experienced wheel failures, particularly on older models from years ago. HRE has been in business for a long time and the strength and quality of our wheels is substantially different today then say in the ‘90s. Even today we challenge ourselves with our racing efforts and while we have and will continue to win championships, we recognize the possibility of having a potential failure in the future given the nature of pushing the limit in professional motorsport. In fact, a well designed motorsport wheel will eventually have its fatigue life run out of it and fail if it is not retired after its useful life. However, we do NOT expect to have wheel failures on the street. We have a LIFETIME STRUCTURAL WARRANTY for a reason. Our wheels are meant to be lightweight but they should still last the life of your vehicle so if it has our name on it we will take responsibility for it.
