Thanks. I'm considering wheel options right now. Those look nice on your car.

They are beautiful looking wheels. Love the design. But if I were getting wheels for another car I would get HRE which I have on my E63 S. Higher quality wheels and the company has far far better business practices than ADV1 has.

These wheels were exorbitantly expensive yet were defectively designed when I got them. In particular they were too narrow/thin where the TPMS inserts requiring my shop to have to Jerry rig brackets to make the TPMS fit.

Plus the finish essentially peeled off after a year. While I could've taken them back to ADV1 and they probably would have refinished them under warranty but I went to a top refinisher to ensure they were done right. My wheels were literally spotting and becoming discolored after less than a year.

And as far as the greedy business practices here's what happened. I originally ordered these wheels for my E 63 then before they were made I decided to switch them to my porsche

ADV1 charged me an extra thousand dollars to allegedly reengineer the wheels for the Porsche. And all I got for this supposed reengineering were wheels designed too thin to fit the Porsche TPMS.

My take on this wheel company is simple. They have the most beautiful designs of any wheel company and excellent marketing but their quality is not top-notch and their business practices at least with respect to me left a tremendous amount to be desired. Would not buy wheels from them again. Even though I love looking at these particular wheels.

Thanks for that information. I'm actually leaning towards HRE wheels.
