I just recently saw these wheels on a pink fd in import tuner.I really like the way they look.Anyone have any other pics of these wheels or perhaps any additional info? thanx.

 

I was gonna ask the same thing.

 

yeah.they look pretty sweet.I went to the advan website and they have silver regulars and silver gtr versions of the same rim.Visually I think its the gtr tc2's but who knows.They never said which ones they were in the mag.

 

i figured id revive this thread and see if anyone else has seen these rims or if they have them.

 

 

Damn you people!! I just ordered mine a few weeks ago in that color, should be in shortly. I will definatly post pictures when they do. NO ONE ELSE ORDER THEM!!! do you have a better picture of that 7 on the bottom?

 

How much?

 

Great looking wheel, do they come in anything but *gold*?

I don't get the japanese wheel manufacturer's obsession with gold, bronze, and white wheels.

 

I paid 2500 shipped air freight size 18x8.5 and 18x9.5 ( they don't make them in 18x9 and 18x10 like I wanted) They don't make them in white. Only silver, gunmetal and gold. I personally think gold looks nice on certain cars, which is why I got gold for my car. Silver is too plain.....on a silver car If you've seen the Super Advan 3s they have colors like red blue and yellow. I think it's pretty unique.

Edit: and chrome is just ugly (again on a silver car)

 

What kit is on that 7? I know it is Feed Front and Side Skirts, is there anything else on that car?

 

The whole car is feed products. Expensive as hell but it looks the best imo. Feed type2r front end, feed fenders, sideskirts, wing, and rear fenders as well. Mirrors not too sure about. Go to www.jt-imports.com and take a look at feed. Beautiful stuff.

 

those have always been my favorite wheels. Anybody know the weights of them?

 

they're like 21 or 22 lbs in 18 inch

 

scrub, post some pictures of your wheels when you get them, btw what offset did you get? low enough to get the GT-R look?

 

37 front and 35 rear, not sure what look that will give me.

 

in order to get the GT-R look you need a offset of +24 or lower. but they'll still look good. The 1st FEED FD above has the regular TC-II design while the smaller picture FD has the GT-R version with the +24 offset

 

Damn! Oh well, that would have been badass. I think that GT-R version also has some kind of fender flares.

 

^^ When are these slated to come in for you, Dan?

+37 up front is gonna be tighter than a 14 yr old. Your gonna need 235's up there!

Ahhhh, a fellow Advan brother.

 

8.5 +37 is what my fikse's were. I'll agree you won't want to run more than a 235/40/18 or perhaps a 245/35/18. Its an agressive fit.

 

I was thinking 245/35/18.....I didn't know it would be that tight of a fit, I just let them take care of that. Guess I made a mistake in that eh? What would have been a better choice for an off set? I was thinking of rolling the fenders but I don't have a tool for it or do I feel like doing it the ghetto way. That might be the only way to do it though. The wheels should be in next week sometime I believe.

 

okay well I just found out they are in NY right now, so Im guessing they will be here tomorrow or so. Now all I need is TIRES!! I was thinking of going with the Pilots, but they are pretty expensive. Does anyone have any suggestions?

 

Toyo T1s would be a great choice in the sizes you need.

In my opinion, EVERY lowered 7 with aftermarket wheels should have the front fenders rolled... just be careful when you have the wheels turned and go over transitions, like turning into parking lots... thats where they'll get you.

 

any tips on rolling the fenders? I've heard that you use a razor to cut where you want to roll them and then use a flashlight or something like it with a towell wrapped around it to roll.

Also, I was thinking of going with S-03s in size 235/40/18 in the front and 285/30/18 in the rear, or go with the Pilot PS2 in size 255/35/18 and 285/30/18. I don't think they will fit though. Anyone recommend a better size for the offset I have? I don't really want the tires to bulge over the wheel either so I was thinking maybe 275 for the rear.

P.S. Sorry to Hijack this thread.

 

EDIT: ************, I had a reply and the server timed out.

cliff notes:
Dan, go with Toyo T1-S from www.edgeracing.com
-235/40 up front
-265/35 in rear
-285/30 is a weird size to find and too big IMO.
-SO3's are bricks, T1-S are just as good and the lightest out there.

 

if they handle like ***, im gonna beat you in the head with em.

265?? I would have thought 275 at least.
