Why can't you just post a photo with you holding up a certificate from far away at the minimum? Sounds fishy to me ...

Speaking of quality issues.. I "found" one (while not a safety concern, all four of his wheels weren't fully coated) http://forum.e46fanatics.com/showpos...&postcount=799 Just kidding on the found part btw, I saw the e46fanatics thread a couple weeks ago but just fully read this thread today as I don't frequent m3post too often. |

Hope you washed your foot first...
There are only a few things this thread has proven:
Lastly, if Le Mans Blue was really run off this forum by vendors or sponsors, then I'm absolutely appalled. The primary definition of a forum is a meeting or medium where ideas and views on a particular issue can be exchanged. Maybe someone needs to get Merriam-Webster on the phone and ask them to change the definition to covert corporate shill. That is all. Boom. |

He's very into the car business and knows all of their "dirty laundry" and bring let the forum know when an issue came up. The venders didn't like that very much. .

Separately, by the way, someone else at some point posted an article from "Secret Entourage" called "The Reality of ADV1". If Jordan is going to have a frank, honest, and "real" discussion about his business practices to clear the air, then it should be with a source not funded by his sponsorship dollars. Does he really think he's fooling anyone? Even if he's not trying to fool anyone, which may be the case, he certainly isn't helping the perception. Plus, that site is in dire need of an editor; hard to take seriously anything with punctuation, grammar, and other mistakes. I want so badly for ADV1 to be more professional (and for Jordan to speak less arrogantly while ironically discussing his failures), because their rims really are among my favorite looking. Too bad his attitude makes them so unappealing. |

I honestly feel like ADV1 is a very unreputable company! I cant believe they would post mis leading information on this site. I think the forum should band them from this site. Seriously!

I happened to be on the Rays website this evening, and found an interesting link: http://www.rayswheels.co.jp/catalog/201110forginge. Rays has put out an interesting brochure that explains parts of their manufacturing process, and their own extension to JWL testing which they call +R (also known as JWL+R).
It's cool to see how some manufacturers don't just try to meet safety certifications, they push safety even further. |

From all that I have seen, it seems like they should be banned for causing disruptions and posting potentially inaccurate information. How much is this site really making off their sponsorship dollars? Can't be that much. I'm sure the forum members would donate a dollar or two to offset the lost revenue. Where are the mods when the people that make this site run - enthusiasts like you and me - are pissed off at a vendor? |

Better yet, let their sponsorship dollars continue to support our forum. Them being present here will allow their tarnished reputation to continue to spread because everytime they post or their name is mentioned someone, Im sure, will bring this thread back up.
I hope they do right by themselves and others. |

Why am I not surprised? The ADV1 owners and their marketing (especially the whole "F*** Your Wheels" campaign) have always come off as vain and overcompensatory.

Guys as we mentioned we're furnishing all testing certificates to any client that requests them, we're including a new section on our website redesign to include our testing certifications, TUV certification continues on our wheel lines in Germany as posted on our blog a few weeks back with some of the highest strength ratings TUV has ever tested for a single wheel, and our new Track Specific lineup actually includes 6 wheels 2 of which are intentionally tested and destroyed to ensure we've removed as much material as possible without compromising strength. The idea that we don't test our wheels and have certification is nonsense.
That being said - if there are any questions or doubts about the quality of our products or our reputation don't buy our wheels. The fact of the matter remains there are no open complaints about the quality of our wheels from any of our thousands of clients on this forum or any other on the internet. All the best, - Matt |

I just did a google images search for "TUV Certificate" and got over 90,000 results. That's right, ninety thousand. I think it's fair to say that your concern over somebody trying to "copy and forge" your non-existing certificate is rather hilarious considering that there are literally thousands of these documents from other companies already in the public domain. On top of that, you already posted a picture of your TUV certificate...or rather something that you claimed was a TUV certificate. Once it was pointed out that the document you claimed to be a TUV certificate was nothing of the sort, you all of a sudden became very concerned about this whole supposed "copy and forge" threat. Again, you must think we are all pretty dumb... |
