10 weeks is still pretty long
The full cost was not paid but I won't get into that!

10 weeks is a long time and we're working on improving that time every day. Lot's of things are in the works at ADV.1 as we grow! Big things are coming. Then again, some wheels really can be had in 2-3 weeks. It's been done. Some take longer though and it just depends on the order.

Tony, maybe a nice thread depicting the exact process as to WHY wheels would take so long to create? With video? I know I for one would like to see it if anything to better understand the quality that goes into the wheel.

Just a thought man.

It'd be kind of hard to capture every little detail and stage that goes into creating wheels, but we thought about doing a video of the whole machining, finishing, assembly, boxing, etc. We're still discussing it!

Possibly sending me 4 of them to fit one of my cars out. I will try them out. Take them for a few thousand miles and start a thread for you

I like the center caps...is that a custom engraved Ferrari logo or an OEM cap that fits the wheel?

I'm glad you like them! You'll be receiving them tomorrow. Be sure to post up some photos when you get them installed. Thank you again for your patience.

They are custom one off center caps that Alexandre requested.
