This is my first post on this forum (so be nice to me.. )

I have desided to get some new rims for my RX-8 and I really love Advan Avs Model 5 but I have some questions to you guys who owns them.

Im thinking of buying them in 19"x8,5 dimension but does somebody know how mutch they weight? I do not want to make my car slower (had bad experience from that before with other cars).

And my car is lowered alot with H&R springs, any problems with that?

Here is a picture of my car:



Will it fitt without make any modifications to the wheelhouse (not sure if thats the right name for it in English)

i had 18x9 +29 offset advan rs gtr face on my evo. does anyone think they will fit the rx8 with the right tire size? i am willing to roll the fenders i just dont want them to stick out. some one on here told me the 18x9.5 +30 work emotion cr kai would fit with 255/35 tires so i thought the advans would fit. any help would be great thanks.
heres a pic i wish i at least still had the wheels.

Those wheels are bad ***. Those should fit fine. Depending on tire size and suspension, you might have to roll fenders.

Indeed.
It's what I am saving up for. But I am thinking +22 offset. Havent made up my mind yet on the color. Gunmetal would probably look a bit more clean, although the gold would complement the Copper Red nicely. Winter is coming soon so I got until spring to make up my mind...

If I can get a deal like the ones I had for my old Evo then I think I'll get them. The rz with the gtr face is nice as well.

well my friend found me a set of rs in silver. I think they'll look good on winning blue. So come Friday I'm ordering them. I'll post pics when I get them mounted. Thanks for the help.
