FS: Advan Siena Generation II 18x7.5 +51
 

18x7.5 +51 silver with polished lip. Just so whoever is interested knows, these need a skinny non-tapered lug. Probably Muteki lugs or anything similar.
Here are some pics:

Close up of the damage on that wheel:

Here is a mark that was on one of the wheels:

I don't know which wheel that is on and I tried looking at the pics to see which one it is and couldn't tell by the pics. So I just stuck that pic here at the end just so people would know that one of the wheels has that mark on it.

None of the lips have any curb rash.

Here is the original tool to get off the center cap:

Looking to get $1000 picked up for these. Will negotiate, just send a PM.

I am located in So Cal (Orange County)

bump

Just FYI:
1. RX8 wheels stock are 18x8 and most people go wider....not smaller

2. Price is good, if someones willing to get a smaller width, go for it.

3. Try an Accord Forum.

No threadcrap just info...

Ah thanks for the info. I guess if it means anything, a 235 series tire can be put on a 7.5" wheel. I know of a few TSX guys who have done that.

Good LUCK, it really is a good sale, besides the width of the wheels.

yeah, it isn't very often you can get rare advans for a cheap price ;)

how much tread is left on the tires?

Tires are shot.

yea,

rare wheels in so cal. not the right size for the forum.

that is very odd, not..

beers :beer:

Hah you guys are pretty harsh :P

harsh / honest? a big cup of yes on that..

at least you have a clue.. bonus!

but +51 at 7.5, wtf does that fit?

beers :beer:

It fits whatever you want it to fit. I believe there is a good reason that companies make spacers. I'm pretty sure they don't do it for laughs. :uhh:

by the look of his Name it fits a TSXq

shit you are going to add a spacer to make that fit what?

the size is wrong for this car to begin with..

you are here why?

selling shit that does not fit, you must a quite?


beers :beer:

If you don't like the wheels then stop looking at my thread and stop flaming me.

wait,

you are going to bust me for asking questions about the wrong sized wheels for the rx8..

and you dont have a post here??

let me know how that works out.

beers :beer:

the "you are here why" was kinda harsh

but i also reccommend that he trys to sell them on a tsx, accord, or even s2k forum....which alll use 7.5

not at all.

you cannot space this wheel to fit right.

that is the whole point..

shit, i have run 245 40 18 on 7.5 inch wheels,, and it did well and still does..

but not on 51 offset wheels.. slight yes. will it fit yes.. fail. yes..

sell your shit on the site that you got it from.

beers :beer:

flaming you?

how.

you dont know the correct offset and size for the site you are posting on?

get back to me on that...

i reported my on post already to make this all go away..

beers :beer:

Those weren't questions, and don't pretend that they were. Those were just attacks.

Maybe I posted them here because someone else might be interested in them. Maybe other people have 2 cars and they might want these for their 2nd car. Or they have friends who might want these.

I don't know why you are harassing me. I guess it is a Friday night so maybe you were out drinking or something, I have no idea.
If you are drunk and are just looking for people to flame, here are some things for you to do:
https://www.rx8club.com/rx-8-parts-sale-wanted-44/fs-oz-ultraleggeras-5zigen-rims-172585/ He's selling 2 sets of 18x7.5 +48, you can attack him about 2 sets of rims.

https://www.rx8club.com/rx-8-parts-sale-wanted-44/fs-momo-v-10-wheels-18x7-5-a-172277/ wow! look an 18x7.5 +45. My wheels with a 10mm spacer would be +41. But you basically said no spacers could make my wheels work, so I guess you better go attack that guy.


Digging further down, I found this thread: https://www.rx8club.com/rx-8-parts-sale-wanted-44/sale-rpf1s-18-x7-5-w-225-40-18s-155587/
You DEFENDED the OP and said that the size would be fine. "the wheels mention will fit fine" and again "really.

the op stuff will fit fine.. "
Only need a 3mm spacer to get my wheels to the EXACT same size as those wheels. But my wheels are shit and will never work, but those, those are fine.


I don't know if you are just hating on me because I have an Acura and not a Mazda, or if you are just in a bad mood. Like I said, if you don't like these wheels, stop looking at my thread. I'm not forcing you to look at the thread, and I am not forcing you to buy these wheels. I didn't post them here for you or for your approval. I did nothing wrong and did nothing to foul you, yet you come in here and start attacking me even though you have previously defended someone with basically the same size wheels.

wow,

you need to learn about offset..

you claim + 51.

well adding is adding.. if you add a 10 mm spacer it is now 61. how hard is that..

so yes, i am defensive here. people get ripped off by zero post wonder like you..

get back to me on the offset thing..

and not really hating, i would prefer the people that support the site with the right size wheels sell them. not some drive by poster, no offense. ebay>>

beers :beer:

Hm look at PBlue: "How bad could 7.5 in hurt. Its 1mm less outside and 10mm less inside. Stance is 2mm less than stock. I was debating picking up a set of 18x7.5 cause they're so cheap. not for track rims but for around town rims. i dont think i could even find any good looking 18x8.5"
Looks like he has an open mind.

It's for people like that that these wheels were posted here.

In summary of this whole thread, these wheels are not perfect for the RX-8. Hell, these aren't even perfect on a TSX, but they work and they are cheap Advans. Maybe someone here will be interested in these, maybe not. If no one is interested, than they get sold to someone else and I come back and close this thread. You never know who will see these wheels, and so far, other than yourself, no one else has seemed to mind these being posted here.

Are you kidding me? You have to be either drunk, joking, or you have no idea how offsets and wheel spacers work.

If you really don't understand how wheel spacers work, please tell me. I will be happy to explain them. I am going to guess you were just messing around though... :uhh:

yep,

i am drunk, and joking and i have no idea how wheel spacers work.

the fact that you mention wheel spacers with 51 off set wheels kinda closes the deal for me..

i will ask the other question that is not known but important.

how much do they weigh?

and you are on your way..

amf.

beers :beer:

rx8club.com we know drama, apparently we also know grumpy old men

bunny.

beers :beer:

tsx just let it be, but IMHO they wont go as fast as you think they will, stock 8 wheels are at 18x8

Great, I am glad you were kidding.

I don't know exactly what they weigh, but I would assume 22-23 lbs. A 18x9.5 weighs 25.5. I'm pretty sure you don't buy these for light weight track wheels though.

HA!! there you go talkin like a grumpy old man, relax and have a beer, try a 40 and relax homeboy

:40oz:

I don't expect these to sell fast honestly. With the economy the way it is, I fully expect it to take a while.

its not the economy its just the simple fact that the buyer is downgrading

mm downgrading? if you say so.

not tryin to fck up your sales, but the stockies sit at 18x8...anything less is just downgrading

OEM 18'' wheels are at 8 inches wide... your wheels are 7.5''. That's a downgrade.

I believe the stock tire size is 225/45/18. Correct?

yes...

A 225 fits just as well, if not better, on a 7.5 than an 8. On an 8 it is actually a bit stretched. A better size for an 8 is a 235. So you aren't downgrading by going to a 7.5 because the tire size is exactly the same. Your tire hits the road, not the wheel. If it were a 7" wheel, then it wouldn't be that great, because then a 215 might be a better fit, and that would be a smaller tire and therefore a downgrade.

not exactly, MAZDA went with this tire/wheel combo for a reason, its called handling...ANYTHING less is downgrade....

if you wanna get rid of your 7.5s faster, your better bet is seeing if the mazdaspeed 3 guys want em...

I've driven on 225s on an 8" and a 7.5" and handling is not affected by that.

btw- to post at the 3 forums, you have to have 50 posts just to make a sale thread there.

anything smaller is less

less= cheap

cheap and rx8 dont good together....

just letting you know, you are on a rx8 forum, u are only tryin to convince yourself that youll get rid of em

I don't understand that one. These are still Advans, so I would hardly call them less of a wheel. Maybe if they were rotas they would be cheap and less of a wheel.

I am not trying to convince myself that these will sell here, I just posted them here just to get more views on them. This isn't the only forum they are posted on, and I am not expecting them to sell here. But I can't predict the future, so I can't say for sure that I won't find a buyer here. That is why I posted them here.

The only reason I have had to do all this posting tonight is because people came in here with an elitist attitude and basically told me the wheels are crap. You guys are a lot more hostile than most of the TSX owners.

tsx, believe it or not, the RX-8 was engineered exactly for 18x8. Anything smaller than that profile will effect the handling characteristics of it. The effect of a smaller wheel (as in width, not circumference) will make it handle worse.

im sorry but we dont roll on 7.5...not tryin to be mean, advans or not, 7.5s take away from the aspect of have an rx8, anything less than 8 inches is a downgrade, its just SPECS...honda/acura owners may think different, but ive never owned a FWD car, who am i to judge?

Anyways, lets stop thread crapping, he's only trying to make a sale. He specifically stated the the dimensions and condition of the wheels. It is up to the buyer to know what he's investing in.

thank you renesis, im just tryin to let the OP know that its gonna be hard to sell, if he finds a dude thatll take em, then GREAT, but the info is here for the rx8 owner to know, this is the rx8club

Like I said, I never expected it to be an easy sell. I've gone through a few parts on my car, and it is never an easy sell, no matter what the part is. I'm really not sure why I am getting all this hate in my thread. I posted up a few threads that had wheels similar in size to mine and yet there weren't people all over them.

So, with that said, these wheels aren't perfect, but they are a good deal on quality rims that can run the same size tire as your stock wheels. I would appreciate it if you guys would just respect my sale thread. Thanks.

Just curious, but have you tried 7.5s on your car to see how much worse the handling is? I went from an 18x8 235/40 to a 18x7.5 225/40 and the handling felt the same.
I don't know about other Hondas, but as for the TSX, I guess we don't look at is as a difference in handling because most people there know it doesn't make enough of a difference for it to matter. We just get wheels that look good and do their job. In the end, your choice of tires is going to have a far greater impact on the handling of your car, be it an RX-8 or a TSX, than a .5" difference in the wheel.

im not gonna try to argue, nice lookin wheels and good luck with the sales

Hmm....TSX....were they stolen?!?! lol

I think we've said everything needed for people to make an informed decision...at this point, we should drop it and if it sells, it sells; thread crapping is against the rules so let's not get this closed.
