Yes they do. I had this verified from DPE before I tried. They don't really look that good. I bought some chrome covers, but have not put them on yet as they are a little on the big sid and fill up the lug hole too much.

Depends if you have spacers.... But usually if the offset isn't too great, they should fit...

What has the experience been with DPE wheels? I don't mean cosmetically, I mean performance wise. I like them for my 2011 TTS, but the web is filled with bad news about these guys. They sound very junior, and sound as if the company is comrised of two guys with phones and a desk in Cali.

I actually really like them, but the major and most serious problem is when it rains. As they have a raised section in the drum area and when it rains it hold the water in and makes the car shake uncontrollably. Like a washing machine off balance. It gets so bad that it feels like the car is barely touching the road. So I actually am trying to sell them as it rains often here and it's the worst and unexpected surprise I've had from a set of wheels. I have heard that a lot of the 3 pcs rims have the same design as to strengthen the outer wheel hub. Sorry guys but I don't want you to run into the same problems.

I had the DPE 20" and sold them after experiencing the rain problem. Beautiful wheels, but if you can't drive in the rain who needs them?

Default ADV.1 Monoblock Wheels

Many thanks for your replies and input. Needless to say, DPE has been eliminated from the running. Anyone have experience with ADV. monoblock wheels? Again, I'm talking about performace , not cosmets. Your input/experience would be most appreciated!

Actually, what I really would like are the wheels on the Ferrari 458 Italia -- they must weigh a pound each. How do they hold the car up??? I'm willing to trade my wife's kids!
