look up ADV.1 very sexy rims but mainly for exotic cars. US$1500-$2500 PER PIECE, HRE P40 are over HK$50,000 for a set.

Maybe you could help decide...


Heres are some in range i could have:

ADV.1 5.1 Cast Wheels 20'

Breyton GTS 19'/20'

Vorsteiner VC-101 Cast wheels 19'

and the up coming Forgestar CF5 which is not out yet.

Everyone's input is welcome~
Im loving ADV.1 wheels - they are awesome! esp their forged stuff...super concave!

Breytons are nice too.... especially if you go 20"!!!!

My Vorsteiner is nice too...BUT 19" is too small i think....

Personally, i would prefer less gear than 8. the ratio is not for driving at HK( around your home...)

Well, that what you get if you have few young kids and don't want 7-seater
Oic,,,did you get the active steering? or other toys like dynamic drive?

Being an ex-owner of E60 with 20" on it before, I guess I am a little qualify to comment on this...

$50,000 for a set of 4 x ADV 5.1 rims (if forged then that's good price!), my old set of 4 Weds rims (not forged) with tyres costed nearly $80,000

If we want proper performance cars, then we should be looking at lightweight, mid engined type of cars...!
Can't agree more. Beside, you MUST lower your car to create that "stunning" look, and that will add some more $$$ to the package. BTW, 20" tires are not cheap.

i think the look must be a "stand out" from the crowd theme, most forged wheels cannot get the angled and bulges and ridges of multi piece,
and hell look like cast.

looks like it's gonna be a vote thing:

1} 20inch Hartge in gloss black - Bill
2]

I would say cruise instead of drive... we are calm and safe drivers, ain't we?

Looks like we have to decide where exactly to go now, so far we have some suggestions:

2) Waterfront in Tokwawan, Indoor Carpark ($12 per hr) or Meter Parking across the road($2 every 15 min)
3) Fu Lam upstairs from AK, "Valet" Parking by Ah Sing
4) Some Charcoal Steamboat near AK's suggested by Deriffic, lack of info
