Wow! Seeing this vid makes me want to buy some ADV1 wheels!

I have been on the fence about purchasing some 1 piece ADV wheels but seeing this video might push me over that edge. Very slick marketing on their part. I might be willing to let the whole 360 forged / ADV1 debacle dissappear from my head. I felt like I was watching an old school Michael Bay film. LOL.

I have to agree. But after hanging with a close buddy this weekend and driving his GTR I have to say that's the route I would most likely go in the near future... His titanium exhaust was to die for and **** the thing was fast

GTR is a car that can satisfy coming from an E55, not many cars I can say that about...I still love my beast though.

Its quick but PLopes's E55 hung right there with one at a 1mile event here to within 1mph... I think Paul had 181.1 and the GTR had 182.X

Also app this GTR was not stock

That was awesome!!

BTW, is anyone running staggered sizes, such as 20"'s in the rear, with 19"s up front?

Such a coincidence that my friend was showing me this video the other day. When i noticed that they were located in florida, the first thing that popped into my head was the 360 forged.

My thoughts exactly!

If I decide to swap wheels, it will only be with these ones. With a staggered & lowered 20" setup, it will definitely sacrifice ride quality though...

Thanks for sharing.

Yeah that stigma is still there...if I recall correctly, I thought Jordan was working for ADV? I may be mistaken, so many bits of information was flying around.

However, video was awesome, rims do look nice though. I think I will check out their site.

I love ADV1 wheels they are very nice! My fav is the 5 spoke matte blk Mag wheel.

did I see it right that they had a 20x11.5" rear wheel on the back of the CLS? if so then the SL should be able to fit that as well?? right?? I wonder if it's possible to put a 12" wheel on the SL with a 315 rear tire...so far the 305 on a 10.5 - 11" wheel is what most of us run...

That video makes me miss my CLS. What a beautiful car. It just didn't fit my personality like the E55 does. Sorry to get off topic. The wheels are nice by the way.

that video is sick...yes jordan is ADV1 and was 360. 360 is now owned by a guy named Alain and he is a top notch guy. i have been to both the 360 and ADV1 facilities multiple times and can say that those troubles are long gone. i would be shocked if either failed to deliver in a timely fashion with good service.

the fact is that their designs are some of the best, simplest and cleanest on the market. the ADV1 wheels are made in cali but designed by jordan and his crew and they are good guys with good wheels (albeit pricey) but look amazing. here they are on my car:
