New Wheels- ADV.1 Flowspec
I cracked three of my old 63 20" replica wheels on a large expansion joint on the wonderful I-10.
I have since purchased these matte black ADV.1 Flowspecs. Shoot it to me straight, thumbs up or down over my old set in the sig.
20" Flowspec
10.5 rears, 8.5 front

Thank you
The one thing that i noticed about these wheels is that you really need to have the car on the ground to make them look really hot. I could get away with the car up a bit on the old 63 reps. Maybe it's just me though

I Have those same 20" replicas on my E. I love the way they look but I too cracked one of my fronts on a manhole cover. I ended replacing it without issue. Right now I'm either gonna downsize to the size wheel in 19 or put some CLS AMG wheels on next. I definately think these cars weight too much to be rolling around on 30 or 35 series tires. The ADV look real nice but I kinda like the replica better. Nevertheless, enjoy!!

Ive been a fan of black wheels for a long time--- owned many sets and I think your's look great but based on the pics alone that you posted I like the contrast of the silver on your car better.
The black makes your car meaner while the silver makes it classier.

100% agree. I wanted a more aggressive look. I do love the way the reps looked but the wheels were hot trash

wait they arent forged? damn...i figured they would atleast be forged monoblocks.
They look killer man. I would've done the same, but maybe satin or gloss black instead of Matte.
edit: just read up, seems the adv.1 has a line that is all rebadged niche wheels, for 2k more hahahah
just buy the niche wheels and call it a day....too bad you cant buy the adv.1 centers by themselves...a way to make $$$
I see you have mercedes centers...did you buy the niche ones and are calling them adv.1s and put a MB emblem on to hide the brand? or did you buy the adv.1 ones and get ripped off, only to put the mb emblem on so it flows better with the car?
either way, adv.1 should refund you a few dollars haha
