OKay.. so i have been looking at these wheels for a while now and i only know one other tC owner who has them however the question was.. should i shell out almost 600 bux a wheel for a wheel that is not even forged?

all of the advan wheels are casted, yet they say they are light weight. i ahve never seen the weights of these wheels.. but i am still very interested in the design.



i plan to get a custom color.. one that is not posted on that pic, but what do you guys think of Advan as a company, the fact that its not forged, and the model itself.

and to be honest.. money is not an issue right now, since i have been constantly working and i have saved up currently $2500 to put into my car, however i am going to save up at least $4500 so that i can buy a decent set of rims & tires, and HKS coilovers.

if you have any preferences please list them as well.. i am looking for a 17x8 wheel with a +45-48 offset

thanks

 

sounds good!

how can you question advan? the 17x8 setup sounds perfect. I want to see your car when you get them. You still at CPP?

btw, i'm looking at Hanabis in 17x7.5... but atm I'm not willing to put money into my car =(

 

I have the ADVAN RGII's (Gold) in 18x8 +37 on my car, and they are super light weight. Seriously awesome rim. They are for sale in the PPC section.. GREAT DEAL.. I could pic one of these bad babies up with one finger with no problem. They are about 18 lbs in the 18's....

Great rims...

 

ya i saw your thread.. but i dont want gold wheels, i personally dont like gold.

 

try used ? call takumi project

900$ set

 

with the super advan's your paying for the nostalgia. these wheels to the japanese are like cragars to american muscle car enthuisiasts. they may not be worth the cost in design but they are worth every penny if your searching for that "JDM" look.

 

I don't know about the SAR2/3/etc but for the most part, Advan wheels tend to be weak.
Advan wheels are COLD forged which is a completely different process.. I've known too many people who have had their RG1s crack on them driving on the freeway to work and back.

 

i love to get those rims for my tc but have them in gold.
plus there is a 240sx (silvia) acually there are three of them at my apartment but there is one over there that has what i think are 15 or 16's on it and it is black with a red lip oh yeah the car also has from what i can see an intercooler on it but it has been sitting there since i moved in here for almost 6 months i want to buy the guys car from him but i have no place to put it and start working on it. if and when i get a new digi camera i will have to take a pic of them and post them for u guys

 

you hit the nose right on that one

 

THANKS tikbhoy, i might be gettin rims sooner than i thought.

and are you sure about them being weak? cacky?

 

I have never heard anyone have problems with their advans... show me proof of that so i can believe it.. not raggin on you, but proof would help..

oh and tikboy those look like the v.1 of the super advans, not v.2....

 

I've heard of the older old skool versions cracking and such, not sure about the newer ones tho.

 

Not sure how much you're going to believe some random person online, but yeah as stated before, I don't know anyone who has/had the SAR3 but the RGs and other models have cracked without even racing on them.
The only Advan wheel I would get are the Advan Sienna Gen2.. beautiful rims..

 

Yokohama partners with YHI Corporation in Singapore to distribute wheels and tires throughout Southern Asia. I've been told by industry sources that some Advan wheels are manufactured in Singapore by YHI, who also makes wheels for OZ, Konig, and Enkei.

dude, i think i stole your rims. i bought the used ones from takumi project about 5 months ago.

 

why in the hell did you bump this. no need

 

kinda irrelevant i guess since i dont have that tC anymore.

but at least he searched.. and i like the rims.

 

not to totally bring this thread back from the dead again....
but
where is a good place to buy some advans?
ive only seen a few used places locally and places like takumi project.
any tips?
