Advan Model 5's with pics

It took a while, but I was finally able to get pics of my new wheels.

Advan Model 5's 19x8 et 38 with 245/35 Kumho SPT's.

They look awesome! Mazdaspeed should have made those Enkei wheels in 19s too!

Nice. Really nice.

The 19" wheels 5 split spokes look perfect with the silver car.

Heh, thanks for the great comments.

The wheels were about $2750.00 and 12 weeks wait. Kumhos were about $800 or so. Really not that bad for top quality wheels and tires. I'm extremely happy.

Sweet wheels, those are the ones I would get for my car if I decide to go aftermarket (or I'd get the advan t5s)

Thanks HERO.

The TPMS fit fine.

I've had no problems what so ever.

I even love the tires. The best set out of 4 that I've had including the stock Dunlops, Cooper 2XS, and Goodyear Eagle F1's.

looks freakin' awesome but damn that's some scrilla for rims. I may end up there but i have many mods to do before I can justify cash like that on a new set of rims and tires.

Again, Looks perfect!!!
