My New Super Advan Gen II

The pictures kinda suck because I was useing my cell phone cam. I really love the way it looks. The only propblem I have is the rubing on the rear tires with 275. I already had some forum members recomend me to get my fenders shaved, or I might just get 255 in the back because my fronts are 255.

Other pics just for fun. I tool these from the shop I got my rims at.

I've never liked those wheels and they just don't work well on the RX-8 IMO, but if you like em that's all that matters.

Yup, I get mixed comments on these rims. Somepeople just don't like 3 spoke rims. You're right everyone has their own opinon, so all comments are welcome. |
hmm, I think silver wouldve look better, plus a little less fender gap would make the wheels look not as small.

fender rolling will risk paint cracking, shaving fender is no problem as long as they dab the edges with paint after to keep it from rusting.
gap will not be wider, as it has no affect on the look of the car. hard to explain, if you feel under the rear fender you'll feel the metal body of the car extend about 3/4" more in. they will shave the metal down a lil so when the tire goes further into the wheel well (during a bump or so) the tire will not rub the metal. |
welcome to the advan club =)

you need to paint those calipers asap

Hope that provides you with another option. As for the wheels, I'm glad you like them. They definately are original...you and Lazi being the only ones. I'm not into them, but what do you care, right :) |
actually.. yellowrx, lazi, and that one other dude w/ the Black MS and turbo. but he doesn't visit the forum so... nvm. lol
|
ahhaahhahaha
|
I don't think it looks too bad. Its just hard to see, and doesn't really go well with the appearace package. You'll need something more aggressive, especially with the MS wing.
|
I just don't like 3 spoke rims. When I see those I think of those nasty Pep Boys rims that are on old Honda's with purple tint peeling off the windows.
Obviously though, these are not Pep Boys rims. I am glad and happy, though, if you like them... since, afterall, they are on your car. |

Thanks for all the nice and funny comments guys. Where is a good place to get my calipers powerder coated LY in LA? that sounds like a great idea. I'll try to post better pictures later with my digi cam. I was useing my cell to take pics when I was at work, so it's a bit hard to see with all the black blending in with the tires and rotors.

^^ Looks like I have to check them out. so I guess the guy above me hates my rims... :squint: oh well can't please them all.
|
yea same here. o well haha
|
Aaaaaaaaarrrgg
I love them :bowdown: . Im so jealous i been waiting for 6 months for mine to come in :dammit: . Where did you get them? how much? I think im gonna get my deposit back, this is killing me. My Azenis been sittin in the garage for over a month. I do agree alot of people dont seem to like them but that should make them less likely to get stolen i hope. But i have always gone for the more original look. Not only that i hate when you go somewhere and there someone else with your rims. So bottom line they look hot. I hope to join you and lazi asap
|

|
