Congrats on your new wheels. I hope you didnt pay retail price for those.

I dont mean to hate on your new wheels, but ADV.1 is really not that great of a company. So they cost 2 arms and 1 leg and every lambo sports them, that's all gravy but look up their history.

Two completely different cases...

They were asked multiple times to provide their TUV certificate. Kept saying they would but never did. . All I am saying is they shouldn't be charging the amount they do. For that price HRE is a MUCH better option.

But these aren't my only set of wheels either. Here's a pic from about 5 months ago. Tom's kit, and a few other things have been installed since then also.

Was just browsing ADV.1's website.. are there any wheels that look similar to the ADV.1 10SL (10-spoke, step lip)? I really like that wheel style, but I'm sure I won't be able to afford to buy them direct. Here's a link:

ive always thought they were were so beatifull specially on exotics, but i always knew jordan was shady since 360, plus everyone knows they are manufactured at the same factory as all other american 2-3 piece blinged out wheels other than HRE.
