Quite a bit of stuff to read there, but if you are contemplating a set of these wheels, you should really educate yourself on their current state of quality control and customer service. Then, make a decision on whether or not to purchase them. Good luck!

this is the most positive ADV.1 wheel thread I've seen in a long time.

Of note ALL the failures that I've seen from ADV.1 have been with their multi-piece wheels. I haven't heard of anything about their forged or monoblock designs.

That said OP I have a set of 20" 10.1's that I love! I bought them from the original owner and they had roughly 30k on them. They're as straight and true as they were when new and have held up incredibly well with 30 series on the front, 25 on the rear. This is MY pic when I bought them from the original owner...





*NOTE: I'm not a fan of ADV.1's practices from what I've read and heard. I would NEVER spend what these cost new (for ADV.1's or anything really...) but being used they were an incredible deal. I think the ADV bashing has been a bit exaggerated personally. With regard to quality specifically (not business practices, etc.) we've seen a few cases which I'm sure are simply a fraction of a fraction of the wheels put out by them. Not defending them but no quality is perfect.
