I did a search and didn't find one, so i thought i'd start one

If you've got an Advan or Yokohama wheel setup and would like to share it....post here!

I personally think they are the ultimate wheel when you take looks,weight and quality into consideration. Their Advan Racing series (RS, RZ, RG, RS-D etc) are particularly well regarded here in asia where i live

I went with the fairly newly released Advan RS-Ds in the premium bright chrome finish...i love how they reflect light especially when in motion

My wheel specs are:

19 x 8.5 + 38 for the front on 225/35/19 tyres (45mm lip)
19 x 9 + 25 for the rear on 255/35/19 tyres (64mm lip - about 3 inches)

There is a mild stretch on the tyres and the rear is almost absolutely flush. Fender mods were required (i am dropped on coils) and it still rubs a little but i dont care....i like the stance too much. The front is slightly recessed in the fender but sizing options are limited unless i want to run a 9 inch front (which i don't...cos that would require me to go with a 10 inch wheel on the back and suitable tyres will introduce too much rolling resistance)


Here are pics of my setup:







Some close ups:







A pic of their weight (RS-D 19 x 9)



If you've got an advan setup..do post it, would love to see it...Include your specs!

 

my fellow neighbour hehe love your wheels. imo your ride will look sick with black RS but still..nice~ love the third pic. sexy!

 

Thanks...i had considered the black spoke version...but IMO they get a little 2 dimensional when seen in real life because they're black and thus you can't appreciate the little details as well. But its just MHO...i still think the black spoke design would rock on a darker coloured IS250 though. The chrome finish looks even better in real world lighting conditions, however i blame my lack of photographic ability for not being able to show it in my pictures...LOL

 

Thats light as crap, hard to get that weight from a 19 inch wheel. I like these, and the RS too.

 

very nice, me like!!! do you rub on the rear?

 

If you were prepared to roll your fender you could probably avoid rub. But the way i am now, i do rub a little. I have minor fender mods: the fender was heatgunned and pushed back by hand without rolling which reduced the rubbing tremendously but there is still a little. i hesitate to roll as i dont want to ruin the paint on the rear quarter panel.

 

Yeah they're pretty light. pretty much the lightest wheels you can get aside from the volk ce-28s (i preferred the advan design more), Volk G2s (which are beautiful but dont have a lip), some of the weds sport range (which come in wrong offsets) and maybe some exotic stuff which i probably never came across and cost a bazillion times more. These weigh even less than the legendary TE-37s which is pretty amazing though they are cast and not forged like the volks

The RS model weighs about the same as the RS-Ds. All the Advan Racing series wheels have similar weights, in fact

 

crappy cell phone pics. AVS Model 5 "original design twin 5 spokes"
19x9, 19x10 since february 2006

 

I have Yok S-Drives on mine. I love them, Currently have Vertini Wheels but am waiting for my F-Sports to arrive, I just think they looks oooo good on SGM plus they are light and tuff.....

 

Car looks clean, I love the finish that you chose. Get some rolling shots asap!

 

one more question, where are you in ? what's sg?

 

look great on the is

 

Those model 5s are hot, when i first went wheel shopping these were on the top of my list...advan has a pic of a ferrari with these wheels and it looked crazy nice. The AVS range are some pretty VIP status stuff from Yoko...show us some hi-res shots!

 

man, having Advan RS, no matter what finish, still gonna look sick!
You know any shop selling wheels with good deal and able to ship to Brunei?

 

Great timing on this thread, I've been looking at the RS-D. Do you have any side pictures showing the "flushness"? particularly of the front setup.

PS - Car looks great
