Much more upscale than precious model. Leather is great. Ride and engine are fantastic. Wood and aluminum are real. My wife drove a Lexus GX and we needed more room. Didn't like the MB. Couldn't justify $95k for a Lexus LX - only has 2 leather options and the model is a bit dated. Decided to give the good 'ol USA a try. Very happy.

While I'm not a big fan of Escalades, I actually really like these wheels. Much better than the average Escalade riding around on chrome...

Exactly. Brake upgrade will be a must with those heavy wheels. Braking distances will increase greatly.

Plus I wouldn't put my entire family in a vehicle riding on ADV's lack of quality reputation.

Plus 1

I think 24's on 45 or 50 series tyres would look just as good as well as giving you a more comfortable ride. You also say you want to use it skiing, skifeld access roads in most places I've been aren't always very good, a decent pothole is gonna kill 26's with those 25 series tyres.

From one dad to another. Please don't trust your family's safety to ADV. Someone posted the thread above and it's a HUGE thread, but the gist of the thread is, they claimed their wheels are TUV certified and they were obviously NOT. A member had cracked in his wheels and another had extra holes drilled in his wheels to try to fix a screw up when they were made. They tried to sell it off as trying to "save weight." But the wheels where not balance-able and would vibrate. ADV has lied multiple times on this forum.

Yes their wheels look pretty cool but their super heavy and not safe. They now claim to be TUV certified but that has not been able to be confirmed in another thread.
