Steve, get a set of RSII's, in semi gloss black. Get a BBK, powdercoat them white. Get yourself the new Dunlop star spec Z2 after the first of the year. This would be awesome on your car.
I want this wheel!!

The price point on ADV.1 is completely ridiculous considering they aren't even close to their Japanese counterparts with regards to quality. I do admit they do a good job marketing though.
They are priced very high. What makes you say the quality is not as good?
The same goes for iforged and many ghetto manufacturers. I have never seen a poorly made Enkei, just some bad stylings. After 4 sets of Volks, and 4 sets of SSRs, I have decided on a set of Enkeis.

Turbo,
Here's a chop of the wheels and the carbon lip, reshaped for NSX..the vents elongated and reversed for brake cooling.
plus..tried that dull but sinister gray color of MB.
If the color looks white, lower screen brightness a bit.
Hope you dig it.

The two quick reasons that come to mind are that companies like Volk, Advan, etc, do extensive testing above and beyond their advertised strengths. They also create their wheels in house. Not only are the factories certified (like TUV certs), but the wheels too.
Companies like ADV1 buy their rims and centerpieces from other companies. The only thing they do is cut the centers. Most of the wheels they sell aren't even certified, but under the umbrella of the pre-cut part quality.
I can't deny that ADV1 designs are really cool. But since they get their parts from the same places the dozens of other custom forged wheel companies do, in comparison their prices are astronomical and unjustified.
Ok, so that was three reasons.

You guys might want to check out the Forged 1 Wheel line. It is similar and better priced.
Couple of examples they have done:

What do you think about this one? Its a little bit diffrent but close to it. It is a German Lightweight wheel coming in 17x7,5 and 17x9.
It is used in a few german Motorsport series like ADAC Procar Series.
The name is ATS DTC Superlight

I photoshoped it on my NSX.
Price is about $1500 for a set.

I don't know why this thread keeps going... LOL... I already bought wheels. But this ATS is a nice looking wheel. They also make center lock:
Looks a lot like the stock Porsche GT3 wheels.
