ADV.1 ADV5 wheels for sale

[TomK]

so maybe worthwhile offering some details as to their usp in order for folks to grasp exactly why they're so much more than say a genuine set of CSLs that would be half the price brand new :?

Surely you of all people on here would know why these cost so much.
To compare to them to genuine CSL wheels for instance is laughable, they're playing on an entirely different pitch.
To those that think 5k is expensive for wheels, well yes it might be compared to what you are used to you but I guess you want to be sticking pencils in your eyes when you see the price of carbon wheels. If you can't afford it, shut up.
GLTWS again.
If they were 18's I might well have been interested

So enlighten the masses as to exactly why they should be throwing 3+ X the £ cost of a set of CSLs (which i used purely for a yardstick ,
i certainly don't rate them over any other OE Bmw wheel )

:roll: Yes i might but YOU are clearly missing my point .
the OP is offering them up to a general forum with no real information or description as to why they are way over & above any other 19inch wheelset
Its called a "advertisement " , , , its designed to sell a product to someone who may or may not know what a product is

 

[TomK]

well yes perhaps the op might have given the whole drivel from the manufactures site about the wheels, shame on him!
Or he could expect that someone genuinely interested in a 3k set of wheels might do their own research.
As he said, not for everybody

 

[BMWZ4MC]

I would love these wheels and I’d be biting your hand off if I had the money. For now, I’ll have to make do with saving the photographs from your advertisment

Did you know that csl's best wheels in the world :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: and half price new ! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

[thecremeegg]

Not saying it doesn't happen as it clearly does but id like to think across the board there are as many positive comments on sale threads as there are negatives ?
Negative comments can also help a sale as over time it brings posts back to the attention of the general forum who may have missed them
To be blunt RE this particular one , attempting to float a £3k+ set of alloys with a blase advert was never going to end well
Ive seen better for shabby 108s

You're the worst offender!
Why do you care what someone puts in their for sale advert? Just leave it be - if they don't sell they don't sell!
They're a specialist wheel that is only going to be of interest to someone who knows what they're looking at - any extra blurb is pointless, they're a speciality item and will only sell to someone in the know. I've bought whole cars with worse adverts....

Anyway, I'm backing out now as I'm becoming one of you thread de-railers!

 

[mr wilks]

You're the worst offender!

At what ?
Check the last 100 sale threads out , I've commented on 5 or 6 of them & non are negative towards the item or seller so perhaps you should do your homework before getting a strop on .
& since you started what's with the exclamation marks ?

 

[Machine monkey]

To be fair to Mr Wilks forum friends.

The guy is selling a very pricy set of wheels. By no way are they the norm. They aren’t CSLs or CSL reps for a start All Mr Wilks has said is that the advert could do with more information? And i have to agree. And by no means am i trying to bash this thread.

OP educate the masses tell us why the demand the premium. I love a forged 3 piece wheel. I just can’t afford them.

 

[mmm-five]

I know aftermarket wheels can be expensive and that’s why I’ve not commented on this post. Every 10% reduction in weight seems to double the price.

My e34 M5 wheels were forged (and survived an incident with a kerb that took out the tyre & suspension), but you’d have been lucky to get £1k for a pristine set (and not a set of the cast 5/7 series sport wheels that looked the same). Now that I’d like a set, they’re difficult to get hold of.

mr wilks,

You insinuate that it is my duty to advertise my product. I just went through the forum rules again and saw nothing which says this. I did my part by describing the item accurately, being honest about its condition, providing clear pictures, stating my asking price, and making it clear where this is shipping from. I am a private seller, but you seem to have confused me with a profit-making business.

If you are not familiar with the brand and its value proposition, no amount of convincing is gonna make you think it is worth the money. My intention is to sell something, not educate people. The information is easy enough to find on the internet.

Whilst there is no doubt, the wheels are of a high quality, and may well be worth what you feel they are.
if you had taken the time, and put a little more effort into explaining what is special about these wheels, you may well have appealed to a wider audience, rather than assume, if anyone who knows there quality,they will do there own research.
just my opinion, but there is a wide spectrum of users on this forum, someone who may fancy a set of top quality wheels, has the funds, but has hardly been made to feel,these sound a stunning set of wheels.

Scroll back pal , wasn't me who started the party & at no point have I offered any view on the item or the price

Tbh lightweight wheels aren't worth it at all. It's far better to ditch sprung weight over unsprung weight in the 1st instance. Unless you're chasing laptimes it's not worth it at all... if you're chasing laptimes. ... but an ess kit instead for that kind of cheese.

people who chase lap times , spend money on suspension ,brakes and tires, and don't waste time supercharging 2.5's

No wonder you're still chasing times then. Doing it all wrong.
