I came very close to ordering Velos S4 wheels, but I actually preferred the more racy appearance that the 2-piece configuration of the ADV 5.2 MV2 SL offered over the S4. Yes, monoblocks are typically stronger than other 2 and 3 piece wheels, but the ADVs are "mono-center" forged faces paired with forged barrells, assembled with titanium bolts... Keenan at Wheels Boutique has assured me that the ADVs will be plenty strong to withstand the added weight and power of my X5M.

Gixxer - (fingers crossed)
