Who the HELL to these ADV.1 guys think they are?

Other than dudes that make seriously badass wheels! I've been lusting after a set of the 5.1s since I first saw them and now I've got them! Eat your hearts out, MF'ers. The guys at ADV.1 were great to work with and are really into the C63.
Here's a quick and dirty shoot I did after work tonight with the P-n-S:
I've been looking at these pics for an hour now and still can't believe they're actually on my car. Great, great hoops. The design and finishing are top notch. Now all I've got to do it get my Vorsteiner splitter and she's all done. So close. So painfully close.
Also, thanks to the dudes at Stokes Tire in Santa Monica for the sweet install. The tech (Mike?) went through the trouble of painting all the hardware black for no extra cost. Although it did get him a FAT tip.
Like/Dislike?
More pics to follow after I get the real camera back with the new shutter...

They are 19's and 5.1's so they should weigh about 19-20 lbs front and 20-23 lbs rear if they are indeed tens in the rear. If they are wider they might be a little heavier but its more about fitting wider wheel and tire back there for traction than it is about weight.
I dont know of any other wheel manufacturer that can fit a 10' wide monoblock on the back of these.

Sick wheels! ADV1 is really pulling it out nicely.
RNS, is it safe to use the ball seated stock lugs for aftermarket wheels? I thought it is recommended to use cone seated lugs?

Roswell, I can help you answer this since you might not get an answer from RNS till tomorrow because of his time zone. The wheels can be drilled cone seat or ball seat. Generally we usually do whatever the OEM seat is but sometimes if the customer wants cone seat for easier access to chrome bolts they can do that as well.

I need a more close up of the rear wheel to see if these are ADV10 deep concave or straight. they look some what straight. They don't look like full lip concave centers but its hard to tell from here. Plus its a 19" wheel so your still also limited there. With a 20" wheel we can achieve a little more depth. The ones on the CLS are 20's bye the way

Hi guys, as Mat said thats not my set, another c63 owner bought them. My set of adv has the wheel caps. I have the 5.1 fitted, in regards to depth i dont think you could ever a go a real deep concave fitment with out guard modd how ever you do stil get some depth on the rear. I amvery happy with my set and as mentioned thinking about getting another.

I personally think that H's white c63 has the perfect depth. maybe a little more would not hurt but I think personally of course that if we were able to get the same depth as the CLS on the C class I think it wouldn't look right. The CLS's angles/curves accept that concave depth perfectly just like not every wheel looks good on every car. just my opinion.
H- were you thinking about 20's or staying in 19's?
