well, after all the hell of a totalled FD and finishing up in the purchase of a new one, I have just stumbled across a honey of a deal. I found a guy in Canada (damn, thats far from TX) and am getting a full set of Super Advan SA3R Racing rims...3 spoke black with shiny red lip...these have been by dream rims since I went with a black FD...for $1100! Instead of 500 or so per rim (last site I saw them on was in Japanese, couldnt read crap, but the were 62,000 and 64,000 Yen. without shipping across the earth. Oh yeah, side not, 17x8 and 17x9 will fit quite easily, right? I am so happy!

 

good that you like those....
You must have been looking at the ADVAN web page
to get such a high price for those wheels though bro.
I saw a full set for 85,000 yen yesterday at a company
called wave here is Japan...BRAND NEW

Good deal for you though....

Everything can always be found cheaper, you just go to know where to look. Not that I sell them or anything..

 

Its hard to be jealous when you cant stand 3 spoke wheels

 

what do they look like MAN-O-STEEL?

 

sorry..was just excited at my discovery...

 

and its not so much the 3 spoke as finding ones that are black with the shiny red lip....not a lot out there....

 

Damn that's a steal but I like the ones that look like those but with the rivets around them. I forget the name of them.

 

Thats cool that you got your dream rims! Good deal also. I think they look awesome on a black FD, what about on a Ferrari Red FD ...

 

Depends on the offset...

I like those wheels also. I dont care what anybody says about 3 spoke wheels. Hurry up and get some pics with it on your car.

 

Ya man of Steel, get some pix of Lois up with her new Rack Man, those rims are sweet, i really wanna get a set by the end of this month!

 

Check the bolt pattern. There is a set just like that but 4 x 114.3 for sale in BC.

Anyways, great find

Yeah, I really liked those wheels from the first time I saw them on a black 3rd gen, I've attached a pic. If I was ever able to get a black 3rd gen, that's the kind of wheels I'd put on it.

 

yup, thats the original pic that made me fall in love...

take the same car, remove the sticker, original front end with a black RB front air dam, and a black GT wing (Mazdaspeed GTC..expensive, but soooooooo nice) and you will get an idea of LOIS2....pics one day....

 

the one with the rivets is probably the

Advan Oni


and these are the other 3 spokes from advan:

Super Advan Generation 2


RA3-DT


A3A

 

the above was my post. damned brothers.

 

I had a site in my favorites that had all the super advan racing wheels and aparently they no longer carry them cause I sent them an email asking about them and if they knew of another site that carried them, so they sent me a link and this is what I found:wheeloptions.com

Just thought u all would be interested.

 

Yikes! called them and got quoted @2500 for all four, ship[ped in 8-12 weeks...I like my 1100 deal better.

 

nope, not a business, sorry.

and they are 114.3x5. that is correct for the FD?

 

k, these are the wheel specs

17x8 and 17x9
114.3 x 5 lug bolt pattern
8J and 9J offset

k, I don't know dick about rims, so........these fit good?
