We do offer our wheels in 5 bolt for the MK1 cars... As the wheels are custom made we build to order and can build any offset you need.

5 Bolt

18x9 fronts are right and 19 lbs
18x12 rears are right under 21 lbs

19x9 fronts are under 20.6 lbs
19x12 rears are under 22.8 lbs

We can also build a race only version of the wheel and save approx 1 lb off the wheel additionally.


We build wheels in sizes for all Porsche cars from 18" to 22"

Please call or email if you need more info.

Thanks for the opportunity to show our wheels.

I have not seen a lot of info on the ADV1 wheel weights. As I did not have a very good previous experience with them, they were not really a consideration.

The OZ wheels (especially the front) are the lightest wheels that I am aware of that are TUV certified. As far as styling is concerned, they are not to everyone's liking. They are less expensive than the BBS FIs and weigh less.

The only other wheels I had considered were the Tech1 110s. I had actually made a payment on them, but they could not deliver in a timely fashion.



Fortunately, OZ finally released their wheels, and I have been very happy.

Bob the wheels in the pic are not the OZ's are they? I thought they came with engraved lettering. You seem to be holding them very easily with one hand!

Great rims - There is only one set left in stock now. They are the ceramic polished. I bought the gloss black ones and had them installed yesterday on my GT2. Fronts are 8.75 x 19 and 16.4 pounds. Rears are 12 x 19 and 20.6 pounds. But the op didn't ask about F1s. My vote would be for the OZs.

I guess I need to remind everyone, including a board sponsor who knows better, that ADV wheels may not be promoted on this site in any way...there are still many members that were harmed by Jordan when he sold out 360...

^which members? maybe there should be a list compiled or new thread set up so that every member can 'state their claim'.. then send it to Jordan?

my 2 cents... u post this a lot, this should just be dealt with already if there is anything at all...

To the OP as i was originally adding, try doing some renders of your actual car with some different wheel options on it. at the end of the day its your car and you ave to look at it everyday. Once selected then just call the manufacturer do get the weights. GL!!!

what has been done is done and it was Jordan's doing and no one else...because of the size of the problem IB made the policy that Jordan/ADV would not be permitted here...I don't need to justify their position to anyone since it is their board to administer...if you want to provide info to this member about their products do it by private message...if you do it in open forum the posts will have to be edited for content or removed

My friends at Cars and Coffee have seen them and cannot believe how nice they are and how good they look, compliments are received often...

1400$ that's really cheap!
