Are ADV1 wheels or any aftermarket product REALLY worth all of the trouble? Cant wheels that are just as good be bought from someone who STOCKS wheels?
I guess i just dont get the fascination...

I've been in the same situation as well. Waited close to 8 months for my Mini Cooper's TE37's. I know the wait is frustrating but its worth it in the end. Most of the custom forged wheels I've owned took a while to get.

I don't understand all the bashing for the extra time it takes on the wheels. ADV is obviously doing all they can to get these wheels to you, but hell shit happens sometimes.
It will be nice to see a picture wth the wheels on!

I have come to the realization that custom wheels takes a long time to finished. My DCR wheels took 5 months, props to them in keeping me in the loop. Seems to be the norm unfortunately.

+1. ADV even has a separate website where you can follow your order. That is something I haven't seen before and I must say I like it.

You can speak ill of them.
This dealer is 100% this clients rep for ADV
If ADV doesn't stop dealers from lying for them they will continue to have unhappy clients and discussions about them.
While I truly dislike HRE have you seen a HRE bashing thread here? Do they perform in time?
Adv tony whomever this is even promised him his wheels on his car las week. Did it happen Redline? No
Sorry either perform as your dealer represents or can the dealers that are making these promises. Adv can control this if they care to. Or possibly adv is promising these lead times to dealers and adv is falling short.

No worries people no need to get worked up.
I just paid them off and going to pick them up sometime this week from garden grove. Going to put them on after my amg performance suspension arrive next week.Here is a pic below from ADV.
Lets see if they will fit without any issues
