And if you look closer at this pic, you'll see a black rag protecting the brake rotor from the brick on the passenger-front side.

AND the bricks are at the perfect jack points on the Merc!

I don't know about the jacking points.. but the lug nuts could very well have been moved by the photographer if they were just lying around.

If they were all rockin ADV.1 wheels I bet Advan 1 owner took their information when submitting client form, went to their house and stole the wheels back for REsale :troll:

You wouldn't disturb a "crime scene" before photographing it for evidence.

Yea, I don't think a theft would be so careful about not to damage the brakes while stealing someone's properties.

look at the front passenger rotor, it's floating above the brick

^ i was gonna say something looks odd in that area... Almost photoshopped maybe

Jgresch 02-18-2011 07:33 PM

^ weight is distributed to the other three because of the driveway slope.

Despite the ads in itself, wheel locks have been known to be a preventative measure when it comes to wheel theft. If thieves really wanted your wheels, I'm certain they'd take them regardless.

Unless of course, you have a wheel boot handy.

All I'm saying is, moving shit around isn't gonna change anything. The police aren't going to look through bushes for evidence or get fingerprints off the lugnuts.

As mentioned, sounds much more like a marketing stunt.

^ its something called SUSPENSION, unless it was an f1 car, i dont think a range would have stiff enough suspension for only 3 of the wheels to be like that.

1exotic 02-20-2011 01:13 AM

you guys might be right, I donno.
won't be that hard to photshop the jacks out and put some bricks in, kinda like the opposite of what I did:
or they might be on bricks actually..... whatever.

silva95teg 02-20-2011 08:07 AM

^^ are those the invisible wheels that are for sale?

silva95teg 02-20-2011 08:11 AM

Also don't those trucks drop to the ground when you park? Maybe that explains how it is possible for the front rotor to be barely touching. The bricks most likely came from the guys property if it is real, maybe the easiest ones to grab.

if I were gonna lower a car so as to be able to get my jack out from underneath, i'd definitely want to use the jacking points...................

depends on the slope of the driveway..... doesnt that range rover have the adjustable suspension as well? Maybe it was on the lowest setting? Less travel in strut....

I knwo what suspension is lol it was just an idea brah

G-spec 02-20-2011 12:16 PM

i dont put anything past the adv1 owner jordan....
damn if you guys knew the full story on them, pretty interestingly shady stuff, it's all over the internet, the exotic forums and others as well.... everything is well documented..

and also the truth on the quality adv 1 wheels, lol, where to begin, just google adv1 and niche wheels together you'll crack up.

niche wheels are those cheap ebay $600 per set wheels, when you see some pictures members posted online of the inside of adv1's warehouse, you see a bunch of niche boxes, and some of the wheel designs are identical... anyway a lot of info available out there if yall are interested in posting, ive already done it here in another post
