*edit* OK I just realized that I should not have posted this while only having read the 1st 2 paragraphs! Seems like complete BS - so read it if you want a laugh!

Reads like an infomercial to me.

FStop7 · 06-04-2010, 08:23 PM

Oh come on

GewoW · 06-04-2010, 09:12 PM

lolol just want it to be clear that I do not endorse the site or the wheels...I actually hate them! Just thought it may interesting to some!

6speedonline already had removed anything to do with ADV1. They arent allowed to be sold or marketed on the forum. I believe everything that happened with 360 forged is happening with adv1

FROM 6SPEEDONLINE:

Hi,
We have become aware that some of our sponsors have been retailing ADV1 wheels on 6speedonline. We have removed these advertisements. ADV1 to our knowledge is run by the former people that ran a wheel company 360 Forged, where these people had issues with fulfillment.
We were successful in obtaining fulfillment for our users with outstanding orders.
However, we have refused to allow ADV1 onto 6speed as sponsors (nor any of our other forums) due to our concern that this would create customer service issues for you, our users. It appears some retailers on 6speed have been promoting ADV1's wheels on their behalf. We have removed all promotion we could find on ADV1 (and would encourage you report any promotion of ADV1 to the moderators), and would like to make it aware that due to prior customer service issues we will not allow them to be advertised on our sites - if we removed any of your content that was in regards to these wheels, our apologies, but I trust you understand our concern.

As a separate, but related item, 360 Forged are under new management (and to our knowledge have not had any issues fulfilling orders since this change).

If you have any questions regarding ADV1, or any of our other sponsors, you are welcome to contact me directly:
adrian.harris@internetbrands.com

Best,
Adrian

TOTAL JOKE of an article. He blame it on the credit card companies... while he's got the 430, TT, CLS, RR and ZO6.

AND he didn't payback or ship wheels to all the people who had open orders.
The guy's a scum bag, nothing more.

I guess I should read the whole article instead of the first 2 paragraphs before posting it! Lemme edit the original post!

So much for the two companies being unrelated whatsoever...

aus · 06-05-2010, 12:59 AM

Forged DST did seem to fill open orders, so I'll give them credit for that.
But ADV... forget about it.

Lots of silicone, and good oral skills.

westend117 · 06-05-2010, 02:28 PM

They have signed up quite a few dealers across the country--dealers that I have trouble believing would just tie themselves up with a known bad proposition and the trouble that would bring them.

But then, hey, what am I thinking? This forum is full of aftermarket products that anything but untainted. LED/angel eyes that don't work, carbon fiber grills that bubble up, aero kits that don't hold paint, exhaust systems that drone...seems like there should be a BBB requirement for vendors here.

consolidated · 06-05-2010, 02:40 PM

PR clean up campaign, nothing else...like going on Oprah to confess your sins.

Yeah, I loved all the denials about that from the shills aka paid off "customers" on various forums. Now they don't even bother to try and hide it.

davedave · 06-07-2010, 12:29 AM

yea, like he really design the wheel himself. All the designs were from manufacture.

bunnn · 06-07-2010, 12:47 AM

Was there not a company between 360forged and ADV1 where people exposed the registered owner to be Jordan's wife?

You are swapping out parts designed by some of the top engineers in the world because some guys sponsored by a company told you it's "better??"
