Quick Look at an Advanced Wheel
Although aftermarket wheels are not something we generally look at here, ADV7.2 CF.2 Advanced Series from ADV.1 that was introduced last week at SEMA deserves a glance at the very least for the simple reason that it is an exemplary exercise in materials engineering.

Although aftermarket wheels are not something we generally look at here, ADV7.2 CF.2 Advanced Series from ADV.1 that was introduced last week at SEMA deserves a glance at the very least for the simple reason that it is an exemplary exercise in materials engineering.
That is, there is an aerospace-grade 6061 forged aluminum center that is paired with a patented BOXTROM carbon fiber hybrid barrel from British carbon fiber wheel producer Dymag. The two are joined by titanium hardware from Tikore.
The wheel is up to 40 percent lighter than OEM cast aluminum wheels.
And it looks damned impressive, too.
