Another awesome release by ADV1 Wheels. Here we have a blue Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 Spyder, fitted with a set of ADV5.01 wheels in a glossy black finish. The color of the rims complements the black parts of the body, including the pillars, side mirrors, and front and rear spoilers. It also make a nice contrast with the exterior color.
Check out the car in the gallery below. Sick photoshoot by the way!
BMW X5M is not a particularly pretty car, but it is one best to showcase aftermarket wheels on. They just look good on it. And that means with a nice set of wheels you can drastically improve the looks of the car. Take this awesome grey X5M on ADV1′s ADV6MV2SL rims. This is hands down one of the best-looking X5s we’ve ever seen.
The BMW X5M is powered by the first application of the firm’s 4.4 liter bi-turbo V8 that replaced the old V10 M engine. In the X5M it develops 555 horsepower. To complement that power, the X5M also gets an aero kit, M chassis and suspension, and M interior with sport seats, steering wheel and pedals.
It is too bad that this year is the last year of production for the Lamborghini Gallardo, because the iconic design of the car, despite being 10 years old now, still looks fresh and beautiful. It looks especially fine with the Verde Ithaca Green color featured on this LP560, which is also sporting a set of black ADV5.1SL wheels.
We’re going to miss the Gallardo when it’s gone, but Lamborghini never disappoints with replacements, so that’s good. In the meantime, check out more pictures of this car in the gallery below. And kudos to ADV1 Wheels for another awesome setup.
We have seen ADV1 Wheels on pretty much every super car there is. Now after two years of testing they are finally ready to unveil their biggest project yet… ADV1s on the Bugatti Veyron. The tailor-made ADV6.0TSSL wheels are specifically engineered for the Veyron.
Making alternative wheels for a car like the Veyron that is capable of over 400 km/h is a tricky job. ADV1 engineers had to make sure these rims can cope with the speeds the Veyron can achieve. They also had to take into account the ride and handling characteristics of the car. So it took them a while to develop these TSSLs, but now they are confident that their wheels offer 100 percent OEM comparable drivability.
As for the price, well, if you have to ask you can’t afford it. But just for the sake of conversation, since the Veyron’s standard wheels cost around $12K each (not including the special tires – they run for nearly $40K a set), we guess you are looking at $20K a wheel for this set.

The guys at Wheels Boutique decided to try some new wheels on their white Ferrari 458 Italia ad tweak it a bit further. So the car gets lowered on KW springs, and and recivies new deep spec ADV5s in satin charcoal. Next stage will include Vorsteiner body kit and Akrapovic exhaust system.
The wheels measure 21×9.5″ front and 22×12.5″ rear, with 255/30/21 and 335/25/22 Pirelli tires. Sure, the 458 loses some of its awesome track capabilities with those massive wheels, but it looks pretty awesome parked outside your favorite fancy restaurant where it really belongs.

In a joint project Wheels Boutique and ADV1 have created the Mercedes SLS Darth Vader. Aptly named because of its mean and aggressive all-black theme, the Vader SLS is fully tricked-out using an MEC Design carbon body kit, ADV 15TS rims, and Akrapovic exhaust system.
The kit consists of a front spoiler, side skirts and a big rear diffuser, and although it’s not that subtle, the black finish of the exterior kinda obscures its insanity. It suits the SLS though, especially with those black ADV1s with gold lip, in size 20-inch front and 21-inch a the back. This car is definitely one of the coolest tuned SLS models we have seen.

If you don’t like any of the ridiculous and ugly styling kits made by Mansory or Hamann or TopCar, Wald’s Black Bison body kit is the only decent treatment for the Mercedes G-Class. The guys at Wheels Boutique have just finished fitting a Wald G55 with some ADV1 wheels, and the result is pretty spectacular.
This car gets the full front and rear bumper, the side skirts with massive fender flares, as well as a carbon hood and a carbon rear spoiler. The whole thing is finished in a menacing black, and fitted with a set of 24-inch ADV5 Deep Concave, also finished in matte black.
The list of customizations go further than that. The wheels are shod with Pirelli Scorpion 305 tires; the brakes are Brembos; suspension is tuned with Brabus springs and dampers; and as for the performance, it gets Renntech ECU, pulley and headers, and K&N air filters. This is one sick G55.

The new generation Mercedes SL63 AMG is a weird-looking car. It certainly isn’t pretty – not with those gigantic headlights – and yet, it can become very very cool with a few slight touches here and there. AMG themselves offer a sport pack for it which, in black, looks achingly good. And here’s another try to improve the looks of the SL63 using a set of ADV1 Wheels.
The ADV08DC wheels in Bronze finish and red brake calipers behind them should not work on a white car. But somehow they do here. With a touch of lowering, the wheels completely fill up the fenders, giving the SL a bolder, more aggressive presence. It does the trick. This SL63 does look pretty damn good.
Maybe the SL’s design is starting to grow on us. But we still hope Mercedes soon release a facelifted version and address the issues. The SL63 has the potential of becoming the best sports roadster the world has ever seen. Technically, the car’s brilliant; a stroke of genius. The amazing roof mechanism aside, it is so rigid and agile – thanks to the new aluminum construction – you’d think it’s a sport coupe. And with the weapons-grade AMG V8 under the bonnet, it is fast as hell. All it’s asking for is a better design.

It is a rare occasion for the guys at ADV1 Wheels to work on a normal, down to earth car such as the BMW 335i. But that doesn’t mean they are not going to give it their 100 percent. This is an example of how you can turn your ordinary sedan into something truly exotic.
The blue paint job on this car might not be everyon’s cup of tea. But there is no denying it looks stunning, in combination with the tinted windows, smoked lights, blacked-out grilles, and of course, those 20-inch ADV5.2MV2SL with their exquisite titanium finish.
The wheels are totally absorbed by the fenders as a result of some serious lowering. Again, not everybody may like a slammed car on huge wheels, but together they make for a striking look. We have to mention that the standard M Sport kit on this car also plays a major part in giving it such high level of awesomeness.

Here’s something to enrich your mid-day coffee break. This is a white Lamborghini Aventador Lp700 rocking a set of ADV5.1 SL – 19-inch front, 20-inch rear – with titanium finish and OEM tires. These days ADV1 is coming up with fancier designs, but we like the rims to look as simple and understated as possible. That’s why we dig this set so much. Great job as always, ADV.1!
Enjoy the pictures after the jump.

Here’s some serious eye candy for you: A Mercedes CLS63 AMG on ADV1 wheels, done by Wheels Boutique. There has been many CLS63s on ADV1 wheels before, but this one has been done so clean, and it looks so sweet you wanna eat the pictures. There’s something magical about the ADV1 wheels; they look amazing on every car, regardless of the make or body style or color or what have you.
The set on this Benz is a five-double spoke concave design in size 20-inch. Thanks to a touch of lowering using KW components, the beauty of the setup has been doubled.For those who always want facts and figures, the Mercedes CLS63 AMG is powered by a 5.5 liter twin-turbo V8 which makes 525 horsepower in standard guise, and 570 is you order the optional AMG Performance Pack. It does 0 to 100 km/h in slightly over 4 seconds, and is limited to 250 km/h.

This ADV1 car is something rather special. It’s a rare Mercedes SL65 Black Series that not only gets the wheels – a set of 20-inch ADV5.0 Track Spec finished entirely in gloss black – it also features a few mods, chief among which the matte blue wrap. While we dig the wheels big time, we’re not really fond of the paint job. The SL Black is a mean and aggressive beast. This color makes it look soft and cuddly! That’s not good.
Anyway, enjoy the pics after the jump.

Velos Designwerks updates its awesome blue Lamborghini Gallardo with a set of 20-inch ADV10.0 Track Spec SL wheels, finished in gold. It’s a pretty unique combination, although ADV1 wheels work better in matt black, or gunmetal, cool colors like that. But this is also interesting. This Lambo has a very special exterior color, and these wheels make that color pop!
The thing is, we love ADV1 wheels, because they always steer clear of ostentatious setups. Still, there’s nothing wrong with letting your hair down every once in a while. We just hope it doesn’t catch on.

This tuned Mercedes SL65 AMG really gives a whole new meaning to the phrase ‘extreme makeover.’ Whoever devised the tuning program for this car definitely didn’t like the car in its standard form. So he fitted it with a set of ADV1 Wheels. That is great. Then he decided to use Wald’s Black Bison body kit. Fair enough, it’s not the coolest kit available for the SL, but hey. The last part, however, is not very good. Why the hell did they wrap it in chrome purple?
Still, there’s no denying they’ve made a pretty unique car here. It is a job well done as a show car. But as something to drive around in, we’d rather take the bus. What people will think of you when they see you driving a chrome purple car? Bet it won’t be good! In any other color this could be an awesome car. The ingredients – ADV1 wheels and Wald kit – are brilliant. But that color has ruined everything.
Check out more pictured of the car below. Oh, protect your eyes first.

The old Mercedes SL63 might look a bit dated now that the new-look car is around, but it is still prettier than the new one. And this particular one here is especially fine as it’s finished in a cool metallic silver color, and fitted with a set of ADV10TS SL wheels size 20×9 front 20×11 rear, wrapped in Pirelli 255/30/20 and 305/25/20 tires respectively, and with polished finish.
The 2011 SL63 is powered by the good old 6.3 AMG and it’s an absolute monster. Well, at least it sound like one. With 525 horsepower, this heavy roadster can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in slightly over 4 seconds. It’s not a sports car, but with a good chassis and a whole range of electronic systems it’s blessed with, it can get out of its own way pretty good. It’s an all-in-one car, and it’s now also affordable. You have to settle for a used one, but hey, it’s a Mercedes.

Another great setup by ADV1 wheels, this time a Mercedes S63 AMG. The standard S-Class Merc looks like a banker’s car, there’s no getting away from that fact. But it’s such a damn good luxury saloon, and to kill it just for the image is not right. The solution is to get an AMG version, preferably in black, and then fit it with a set of ADV1 Wheels like you see here.
You have to get the design and finish right though, or you end up looking like a drug dealer, which is probably worse than looking like a banker! These are the ADV10DC rims in gunmetal grey, which with a touch of lowering suit the car perfectly.
Enjoy the pictures…

The latest project car blessed with a unique set of wheels by ADV1 Wheels is the magnificent Audi R8 V10 Spyder. The multi-spoke ADV10.0SL on this R8 are the most iconic set ADV1 has in its rich portfolio, but they seem to suit the drop-top German quite well. With a brushed aluminum finish, these wheels are designed more for elegance than sportiness. Actually, the R8 Spyder is such a good-looking brute, it’d look handsome with plastic hubcaps!

The first-gen Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera, built between 2008 to 2011, is one of the most iconic versions of the car. It is, however, starting to age. So to keep things fresh, the owners might want to start thinking about modifying it. Here’s something to give you some ideas; a Superleggera with LP560 bumpers and a set of gorgeous ADV05DC wheels, and a nice touch of lowering.
Thanks to increased power (an additional 10 hp) and a 100 kg reduction in weight, the new range-leading Gallardo Superleggera is even more dynamic than the already very sporty Gallardo. The weight/power ratio of the Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera is only 2.5 kg/hp, putting it in the top lightweights of its class. The Superleggera also has the fastest acceleration in its class. It needs only 3.8 seconds to go from 0 to 100 km/h (0-62 mph); 0.2 seconds less than the basic model, and boasting speed and grit under various driving conditions.

Let’s face it, the day will come for every Porsche Panamera owner when they look at their car and say GOD I wish it wasn’t so ugly! There are some easy ways to improve the looks of this big Porsche though. A new set of wheels will have huge impact on the car’s styling, if you choose the design, the size, and the finish right.
What we have here is a Porsche Panamera with two different sets of ADV Wheels. Now, this is as good as it gets. The design of the rims, the size, the right lowering, and the finish, they are all expertly done by ADV1. These are some of the best setups available for the Pana. ADV1 wheels are pricey, yes, but Panameras cost between 90 to 140 grand. What’s another 10!

We are used to see ADV1 Wheels on super cars and exotic GTs. But they look twice as cool on ordinary cars, like family saloons, hatchbacks, and oh yes, rugged pickup trucks like Ford Raptor. Judging by the license plate on the car, this one comes from Dubai. The Raptor sports a set of ADV6TS in matt black, which make it look even more sinister.
ADV6TS are among the most popular ADV1 wheels because of their simple and elegant design, lightweight and deep concave forging profiles. They are available in diameters 18-24 without leg extension option and 19-24 with leg extension / deep lip option.
