ADV.1 Wheels

As some of you know I ordered a set of ADV.1 wheels from Wheels Boutique a few weeks back, specifically the ADV5.1 monoblock. After I posted the news I was pounced on by several people saying I was screwed on the price and that ADV.1 was shady.

Thinking oh-shiz, I was ready to cancel the order and switch to D2, but Jon at WB lowered their initial price a bit and ADV.1 included a set of custom Camaro "SS" styled center caps in the deal. They took the time to explain the pricing issues to me and for a few hundred bucks I decided it wasn't worth the hassle of canceling.

So, contrary to the reports I received, they've been great to deal with and very responsive to my questions. I'll be heading down to Miami for the installation in 2-3 weeks. I'll report back with pics when she's ready.

FYI

They'll paint em pink with purple polka dots if you'd like.

These wheels are the real deal in person. Best wheels for the Fifth Gen. Period.

Hey Jon, that's a great idea!

That's one big chunk of metal, I can't wait to see those babies on the car!

Hi Chase, I installed the Pfadt coilovers you sold me in preparation for these wheels. I've got to say I love the coilovers, the car feels much more in control.

Thanks for getting those to me promptly.

Do you make custom "SS" center caps for our stock Polished and/or Midnight Silver wheels? I think someone could make a killing on "SS" paintable center caps. No one has offered those up yet.. I think they would fly off the shelves.. Lori
