That being said, the spirit of my post was to reinforce what I think AUS was trying to say, which was that caution should be taken with ADV wheels. They have a bad reputation and seem to have earned it based on their past actions (or inaction). You make a good point when you state that it's dangerous to jump on the bandwagon bashing a brand without any direct experience with that brand. I agree. I will however say that I philosophically focus on brands that have earned solid reputations and recommend the same because I wouldn't want to waste mine or anyone else's time on something that has a poor track record. I also think that it's doing a disservice to others if I don't share the knowledge I have gained. In this case my research across multiple forums and direct contact with affected parties has led to my conclusion that ADV1 is a brand that I would avoid. I was under the false assumption that you were not aware of some of that past history. I was (and still am) also under the assumption that many people viewing your post were unaware of that past history. I think people have a right to know; and at the very least it will help them to ask the right questions when considering a purchase. I should add that the terseness of my post was not directed at you; it was directed at ADV1. I find it frustrating that they have conducted business in the way that they have in the past. Again - I was not intending to attack or offend you and please accept my apologies. I wish you the best of luck with your ADV1 wheels and FWIW I think they look gorgeous.
