This is why I will only buy JWL certified wheels.

Post them.

I'll see if I can dig up our TUV certification as it was taken with the guys in Germany and isnt' a scanned copy. We don't want to post the scanned stuff publicly as it's too easy for any other wheel company to photochop out the name and doctor their own documents for their own use.

Matt,

1. You understand there are literally hundreds of TUV, SAE, JWL/VIA certifications out there and companies don't need the one from ADV.1 to copy it right?

2. That is not a TUV certification. That is a certificate of conformity. You should know the difference. A TUV certificate specifies a wheel has been tested, has passed, and has been registered/certified by TUV-Rheinland. It also certifies a wheel to an specific vehicle only which is why is so expensive.

A certificate of conformity is the manufacturer certifying that the products, in this case, wheels, have been tested to an specific standard (SAE/JWL/VIA or even your own) and the manufacturer signs and attests that to be true and valid. Your statement is misleading.

This a TUV Certificate:

I also think that two guys on the left of the picture are wearing fake watches

and for EVERY wheel, not just ONE wheel.
Each design needs to be certified

Forgestar is also a JWL, VIA and SAE certified wheel..if that means anything.

From what I understand, each size has to be tested too?
I think that's what Paintpro was saying about the Forgstar's on the first page.

Just because they say so on their website?

unless something has recently changed, that is not correct.

oh snap.

I had a set of HRE 441Rs on my old E46 M3 many years ago, and one of my rear rims cracked under normal use.
It was a big eye opener.

hmm no response from ADV.1 yet..
I know for a fact they dont have a response yet, otherwise it would have been posted and Im sure they are monitoring this thread multiple times a day. They are scrambling pretty fast right now in Miami lol

Damn.... good info.... and very interesting...... you slapped them down harder than my girl slapped me down last night after i asked for sexy time......

on a more serious note, this is very important information and definatly makes me think long and hard about my wheel manufacturer choice...., i usually stick with BBS, but they are usually alittler heavier than the japaneese brands....... i think my oem CSLs weight in @ 25lbs for the 9.5-19" rim.

entertain'n thus far...

IBTL

I hope someone makes:
JWL, VIA and SAE certified wheel model/company list and mod sticky them just like wheel weight or rub/norub threads.

Just a thought.
