This is why I will only buy JWL certified wheels.

The fact of the matter remains there are no open complaints about the quality of our wheels from any of our thousands of clients on this forum or any other on the internet.

All the best,

As the thread you mentioned states the moderators aren't allowing us simply because the owner of the company is the same as at 360 Forged - not due to any quality or open complaints with ADV.1.

The 360 forged issues have all been resolved years ago and all parties made full as it was one of the condition of the sale of the company to the new owners. Anyone who feels they are still owed anything just drop me and email and we'll cut you a check today.

Not the first time I hear of this...here is some background on this great company:

When the original 360 Forged started going through all their problems Rennen started to sell counterfit 360 Forged wheels at a huge discount. Great right?

Well now 360 Forged has been getting calls from customers saying their 360's cracked and they want them repaired. Problem is 360 never built those wheels but they are basically forced to fix them because the customers can't understand they got scammed by Rennen.

Want more...every cracked wheel is this five spoke split design!

You mean when Jordan didn't pay for wheels that were cut for him and never paid? Could that be why Rennen took the designs?

Buying wheels from Jodan is major fail.

What an interesting thread. Our certifications are posted on flickr. We have high resolution ones in case anybody wants to copy them. Let me know.

Carlos

I thought this was the bombshell of the post. I have always said Morr is the most legit wheel mfg in terms of their ties to our community and the product quality. Congrats Carlos.

As for ADV.1, take note of the above. No pulling teeth required. Stop BSing, please. If it took more than 5 seconds of effort to produce the documents the community originally politely asked for, then you're lying or at least embellishing. It's fairly obviously there is nothing confidential about the certificates. You have nothing to lose, only customers to gain.

Are VMR wheels (sold by EAS and ModBargains) legit?

I actually read through all of the post and were simply appalled by the responses from ADV.1. They are selling their wheels from 5k and up and they can't even prove their wheels are legitimate. I've always had a bad feeling about them and now probably will never buy from them. I've always stuck with Volks, Work, ADVANS, BBS, and now HRE. Even my Advans which were not forged but flow formed are 1000000x better than these ADV.1 forged monoblock wheels. I have yet to see anybody that goto track with them and aside from form over function these wheels have proved absolutely nothing to me. My shop actually called the LA warehouse to buy 4 set of centercaps from ADV.1 to replace a set for a customer and they told them 200 bucks a piece to replace. This has nothing to do with TUV certificate and such but rather a standard in business practices. 200 bucks a piece for a center cap....WOW

We don't charge 200.00 a piece for replacement center caps.... heck we don't charge 200.00 a piece for our custom engraved ones. Replacement center caps are free of charge and our production office in LA doesn't quote prices as they aren't involved with any sales of any kind.

As for all the drama,

Motion to ban ADV1... Anyone want to second that?

Negative. Its up to the buyer who needs to be educated and ask the RIGHT questions. They have every right to sell their products..whether you buy them or not.

Guys, I'm not sure if VMR are certified. I dont own a set lol...but I think they are open to all questions to whether they are or not...

I'd be happy to I want to clear it up if anyone is having issues or getting that kind of pricing. Thanks for bringing it to my attention!

Hey bro, I'm not sure. But in all honesty, invest in a set of good wheels. Anything from Volks, Work, BBS, HRE, Advans got my vote. Even new players like Morr I would endorse because they actually took the time to design and produce a quality product that we use our hard earn money to pay for.

I also want to elaborate the quality of Volks and Work...The Japanese are absolutely amazing with their wheels. Even the best of BBS are made there.

A lot of backtracking by ADV.1 here...

Not to menton Advan should sue you for using their company name.

+1, LOL, I thought ADV.1 was a subdivision of Advan. Shows you how much I pay attention to this stuff. I remembered there were some drama with Morr back in the day too.

I will only use BBS, Work, Volk and Advan for all my cars
Had many cars and many wheels, quality of other wheels just can't match those 4

This is a VERY interesting thread.

Do they have every right to lie and false advertise too? If carlitosz didn't call them out, how many people here would have known that the document posted on page 2 is not a TUV certificate?
