Thread: The ADV.1 | AE Performance Saleen S7 Project | It happened

A lot of tuning shops follow trends – then you get someone like Casey from AE Performance that tends to make trends. So when he said he needed a lightweight high performance wheel for a Saleen S7 – we ordered up a set of ADV5.2 Track Spec SL’s to keep weight to a minimum – width to a maximum – and performance better than from the factory. No massive heavy dub’s here – this set was designed to enhance performance and aesthetics hand in hand. Thanks to AE Performance for this amazing build! Also, huge thanks to Patrick Lauder for the amazing shoot, well done P!

ADV5.2 Track Spec's with our traditional profile forging
Matte black centers / brushed gunmetal lips
oem sizing

hmmm... when looking at the whole ADV lineup to choose from, that model is not what i would have picked.... but it definitely looks WAY better than the chrome stockers!

Looks hot to me. Not what I would choose but still hot.

Agreed. Wouldn't be my choice either but the whole package is good

If it was any other color I would agree... But definitely pulled it off!!! Looks Great! Such and amazing car!!!

thanks guys! I think it's more the S7's awkward fitment than anything else, it's probably the worst car ever for aftermarket wheels lol, but she is a beauty! Unfortunately we had to stick to oem sizes and et's on this build otherwise there'd be a little more room to play around in there with some deepness. The car has a nice low offset in front, which actually would have been capable of some good 'ol CDP but the rear is total anti-concave. it's got a massive caliper protrusion and then a massive fender overhang which leaves no room to run a more aggressive fitment without super rubbing...Really challenging, we've done some tricky ones but this one was something else.

We're happy with the result, and with the maintained drivability of the car - even Steve Saleen himself was impressed

If it was mine.... I would take the awkward fitment, drop the motor, shove it into my living room wall... have coffee and just stare at it!!!
But that's just me in a dream bubble!
Being able to drive it and drive it hard is probably something important.....

Car Looks Sick!!! said it again.... cause its that awesome!!!

Speaking for myself but my issue is not with the wheel fitment. I can see you can't go too aggressive with the fitment. I'm fine with the specs. My problem is I'm just tired of blacked out wheels. I don't get it and never will. You've heard this from me and others before. I just can't understand spending thousands on wheels you can't really see unless you're up next to them.
You guys make a very nice wheel. It's a shame it's blacked out. I'd want to show them off.

I think the fitment still works on this. I've ridden in one. A 750 hp S7 Twin Turbo. It's a race car. Plain and simple. Race car.

Going nuts with staggered, deepness, no rubber would have been a little too much. But like I said, the overall package is good. I mean come on... it's a freakin' S7!!
