Default ADV.1 quoted me $8k for wheels!

I inquired with ADV.1 on a set of 20 inch ADV05 deep concave wheels for my S5. I knew they were going to be pricey, but I did not expect them to out price even the best wheels HRE had that i liked.

Why are they so over priced?

that's a lot of green---ouch.

"exclusivity?"

From the looks of their website, they appear to target the supercars, and their owners who have no problem throwing down the $$....

It's too bad the price is so high. The wheels look great and there's only a few companies that make really nice concave wheels in my opinion. They are:

360 Forged
ADV.1
Vossen
Savini Forged

The 360 Forged Mesh 8 concave are my favorite but I don't know if they are available for the S5.

adv.1 is 360 forged.

If I were you, I wouldn't purchase either. If you do some research and look around on forums like 6speedonline.com and luxury4play.com you will learn all the bad things and horror storys of people over paying for wheels and then never getting them or getting them and they weren't what they were promised.

There are threads on numerous forums about these guys. =\

You should get your facts straight and practice what you preach. If you do the research you will learn that ADV is not 360 forged. The owner of ADV used to be the owner of 360 forged when it was having its issues and subsequently sold the company before starting ADV. 360 forged is under new ownership and is not related to ADV. In addition, there do not appear to be any issues so far with ADV as they are being sold through numerous reputable independent dealers who have put their own reputations on the line. Whether you think the wheels are worth the money is an entirely different issue.

I do have my facts right, I have been to their shop and know people that deal directly with them. I live in Miami where all these wheel companys are based out of. In fact they have their wheels cut and made through COR which is also based out of Miami. And yes Jordan the owner of 360 forged put it all in one of his boys names, He has done this numerous times. You my friend should do your research because this stems back wayyyy further then just 360 forged. Good day!
