Just because you have 1 style, 1 bolt pattern, 1 offset, 1 size, 1 width " TUV APPROVED " doesn't mean your whole company is APPROVED! please contact TUV and get some answer's and you will see the truth.

As far as I know, APEX VIA certifies all their wheels.
RAC is a low volume company, but they're all certified too.

I don't understand they posted like 3-5 posts all of different cars showing work they've recently done.
If this really bothers you, try contacting the moderators on the board. You can use the contact us link at the very bottom of the thread. Michael |

Unless you mean having 4800 posts i'm a newbie? I hope you posted their response to the Asian and Korean forums. I mean if you're objective, and you posted the initial issue, you should post their response too no?

If anyone feels I am defending adv1 I am not. But I am not gonna jump on the hater bandwagon as lots of wheel companies post bs and don't confirm or deny. Example a wheel company says they are TUV certified that does not mean that every wheel they manufacture has been tested it means their management process is certified. Even when the company says "certain styles are tested for sale in TUV countries". People say oh every wheel they sell is TUV tested So to answer your question no most wheels are not sae tested exactly as made the company maybe test one diameter and one width and one offset. Now a low volume company which only makes a handful of sizes and widths and styles can do testing on all wheels economically. Now these tests no matter what are performed with recommended tire size which the lowest sidewall is 35 series anything lower than that and you are outside of any test and "for show only" |

Most wheel "engineers" are just designers/technitians who know how to use a CAD software. Very few, have an actual engineer with an engineering degree working for them full time. OP, hope everything works out for you. |

I have a set of ADV10 19" Track Spec. (they're engraved track spec not 'trak spec') lol at the krab cake joke.
They're nice looking wheels and for clarifications the price ranges so not all of them are 10k. I think people assume they're 10k which is good because there wont be honda civics with the same kind of wheels. I've seen all kinds of wheels cracked. Shit happens. Especially when you're running low profile tires and driving it everyday. Free wheels or money back cant complain.

Once again I am not defending but being TUV certified means your management process is certified it doesn't have a thing to do with the strength of your wheels. And wheels being load tested can mean FEA as that is a test. The quotes you posted say nothing about all wheels being load tested by TUV.
I agree that it could be misleading. I asked a company who shows off their TUV certificate if every wheel they make is physically tested or just FEA about 2 weeks ago and they never responded to my post but responded to others. This was on another forum. So in saying that all wheel companies are posting misleading stuff. Sometimes it's not what they say its what they don't say. |
