ADV 1 Wheels same company as Forged DST

So it looks like ADV 1 wheels were introduced recently with great reponse from the forums. I was wondering if this another company under the Forged DST or 360 forged.

The reason I beleive this was I was on MOdular Concepts email list which turned into Forged DST. I get random emails with pics and stuff. Just recently I have been getting emails from Adv 1. So how did Adv 1 get my email address

Interesting!!! So buyer beware, make sure you aware of who this company is even though they have a new name and some new wheels.

Yeah I think I read some thread where they were denying it, not sure where but I remember it. Even their model cars look alike, strange huh.

IIRC, they (ADV1) openly admitted that the designs are Jordan's (of prior 360 Forged involvement), but claim he is in no way involved with the running of the business concern.

for what its worth i was a previous 360 forged customer during the whole debacle and when Alain (modular concept) stepped in and took over operations everything was smooth as could be and from what i understood virtually all problems were handled. who cares if the designs had anything to do with Jordan? the craftsmanship of my wheel (made by COR) is top notch and i have no issues.

Now if they are lying about their relationship that isnt cool...

This is exactly how I understand it as well.

I ordered ADV5.1 forged concave single piece wheels through GMP on 9/29/9. I received an email today stating the wheels are ready to ship from ADV to GMP. At that point, Mathew @ GMP will forward pics of the wheels so that I can give my approval...

The deal was 1/2 deposit at the time of the order and the other 1/2 after wheel is done and checked for quality by GMP and me. GMP promised in writing that delivery would be 4 weeks and that if they did not deliver then I would get my deposit back...

I am suppose to see pics tomorrow..

Whether the previous owner of 360Forged is involved, I can't verify but if ADV and GMP deliver...I won't care as long as their written promise to me is fulfilled...

I'll let you guys know...

That must of been it, memory of that for me is faint. I also was a previous customer have their 360 design and still have them now.

Preliminary pics of ADV5.1 ordered...

I got the email today with pics of the ADV5.1 wheels I ordered for my SL65. The order is just within the 4 week delivery promise...I hope to have them in my hands on Monday...

I found that out about ADV and Jordan weeks ago. I posted the question on another thread involving GMP and never got an answer.

All I can say:

1. I hope you get your rims
2. The quality and finish lasts longer than 1 year

This is interesting...I was looking into the set of black ADV 5 spoke like AMGFan is getting...but I was thinking about the 18 or 19" varients...I think the 18's would make for a great everyday street and occasional track/strip wheel...but I'm a bit skeptic after hearing all this wheel maker controversy Even if the wheels are delivered as promised unless the mfg is reputable how can one be sure of quality and long lasting performance from the product...

I guess I will be the test case for you Sunir...if I find any problems I will be sure to let everyone know...

As soon as I get my hands on them, I'll weigh them and get them mounted...as always pics along the way.
