My Sienas finally arrived :)
OK, so after 3 months I finally got them...HOT DAMN!! I must say, the packing and attention to detail ADVAN shows is very impressive, I can see why they cost as much as they do. I'll attempt to attach pics.

I have Toyo T1-S tires mounted on them. I have pics of them too, but screw it, not spending another hour for it to upload.. hahahah.. I got 275/35 for the rear and 245/35 for the front. My front sits low and I didn't want to risk the 255/35.
As for weight, I saw online the 18x10 is supposedly 25lbs, that is why I made sure to go with the light Toyo T1-S. However, in picking them up, the rims almost feel lighter. Oh well, not much more than a pound or twoo from any other "normal" rim and tire I would guess.
I'm paranoid about things alot, my recent paranoia...the calipers clearing, these don't come in different "disks". But roadsterdoc has them, different offsets, but the same center disk mold so I should chill

I also found a great place to buy Toyo tires.
www.edgeracing.com
Can't find anyone who could beat those prices.

To answer roadsterdoc and provide some recent info I just learned.....
I bought the wheels through Gruppe-S online. In another thread I stated how these wheels were suppose to be here in mid-February and obviously they weren't. Since then, twice they did not show when I was told plus I was never informed of them going to be late. I found out through asking where they were. Well, anyway, I was just checking my credit card statement and noticed it was lower than I expected. Therefore I looked at recent transactions and noticed Thursday Gruppe-S CREDITED ME $1000 !!!!! SWEET! They knew I was not happy, because I sent a lengthy email discussing everything that happened and that I wish they would have simply let me know. I was not a dick to them.
So....I got $2300 wheels for $1300
And I give props to Gruppe-S for standing by their business, unlike others would do! Because they did that, I would recommend them to people and would buy from there again. Outside the wait and updates everything went smooth.

AMRAAM4,
Those wheels look awesome. I am also considering buying some rims from Gruppe-S. I want to get some Work wheels. I am aware of you and a couple of other people on this forum complaining about the time it took to recieve the rims from Gruppe-S, but I have yet to find a company that can beat their prices. Can't wait to see some pics of those Advan's on your car.
