Got my Advan Siena gen 1's powder coated

The wheels came out so good and the price was even better. I'm super happy with them. They really shine with the sun on them. Hopefully when I have some time I can get more stuff done by Chuck over at Bonehead Performance.

The very center ring and cap I kept stock. The large ring and cap matched with the rest of the wheel.

With flash


No flash










Just the basic idea of how they will look on the car. It should look good, I just have to wait another week to get a pair of tires and get them mounted up. The sun was already going down so the car and wheel look a little dark.

Bridgestone RE-01r 235/40R17 front and 245/40R17 rear.


I'm currently rolling on my winter set and I can't wait to get some rubber back on the car instead of the 205/55R16's.

I bet. Must feel like you're riding on rails after having the wider tires.

I like it a bunch. As long as the fitment is good, those will look really nice.

Sick wheels. What are your plans for your junkyard BBS's?

Thanks for the comments.


Here is his pricing. http://74.200.219.163/powdercoating/powderprices.htm
He was able to help me out with the final price though because I have done business with him in the past


The BBS's will be going to storage until next winter.


Edit: MaczPayne got it right.

Mounted them up yesterday so I took some quick shots before going in to eat some Chinese.











Next will be some coilovers to replace the Eibach/Tokico combo that I've had for years.

That's just a beautiful wheel and the fitments are totally spot on! Can you share the sizes and offsets? I presume you didn't need to use any spacers.

I love every bit of it. I got 8kg front/ 6kg rear rates, on the GR+ Pro's. The car's only seen local twisties and regular driving since they were installed, and they keep the car planted quite well.

They handle SoCal roads pretty well. Just don't drive these on washboard dirt roads, you'll lose your teeth.

It was Gold Metallic with 95% clear, I think the powder is from Columbia Coatings. I paid around $65 a wheel and since I've done passed business with him he hooked it up with the clear. Its usually a bit more with the clear on top.

Yeah I'm using spacers. When I got the wheels the offsets where off, but I picked them up anyways because they where in decent condition and I haven't seen another set around.

17x8 35 offset with a 5.5mm spacer, 235/40R17 Dunlop Z1 Star Spec tires
17x9 40 offset with a 15mm spacer, 245/40R17 Bridgestone RE-01R Tires

With that size tire I think you can get away with a 20-25mm spacer in the rear. With the 15mm spacer in the rear a 255 tire might be doable. The front might be ok without the spacer but it will be close to the springs.

LoL.. Thanks for the info, I'll be sure to stay off dirt roads. Thats all I really plan on anyways with the coilovers is regular driving/fun run in the hills. If I have time then I might hit an event.

Took these a few minutes ago. The suspension sits uneven because my driveway is basically dirt/gravel. So it not exactly level.
