18x9 +29 gtr face advan rs in silver metallic.

Beautiful RS's, ghost! I'm looking to get a set of RZs and would love to see more angled pics of your offset so I can get a better picture when ordering mine.

Thinking of going staggered for a slightly more aggressive look but still stumped by the offset choices.

Thanks mate!

I'll take some more pics once I get new tires, suspension and my fender lips rolled. It takes a little work to go aggressive.

Definitely get more pics man. Those look great. I'm really interested in getting the Advan RZ, but I want that flush and GTR face look...so not sure what size to get and all. Lets great..congrats. Can't wait for the pics.

aghostinside 10-19-2008 09:53 AM

I'm not sure how much they weigh. But when I had my Evo I first bought a set of fno1Rc for it in 17" then work emotions in 18". The advans felt a little lighter than the 5zigens and alot lighter than the works. But then again that's just me picking them up.

Oh and they feel lighter than the stock rx8 wheels. Again sorry for not having any exact numbers.

Kadavr 10-19-2008 12:01 PM

They look good, get some lower profile tires though.

aghostinside 10-19-2008 05:12 PM

we tires are temporary

imput1234 10-19-2008 08:36 PM

def post more pictures when you get tires, looks sick. What size tires are you going with 275?

aghostinside 10-20-2008 03:28 AM

Not sure on the tire size as of yet. Even with a lip roll to lower. The car I'm thinking 275 would be a little too wide for this set up

Zelse 10-20-2008 05:12 AM

I heard 265 runs good with that kind of size. That's what I'll be getting at least. :x

aghostinside 11-24-2008 07:40 PM

i plan on getting some better tires. i don't think i'm gonna go any lower on the profile but on the back i may go a bit wider.(theres still room)
i still need to tweak the suspension but i don't plan on slamming the crap out of it. i don't know how low i can go when i put the body kit on.

Zelse 11-24-2008 08:01 PM

Whats the tire size right now? Think you could fit 255/40 ?

I'm debating on getting RG II 18x9 +29

aghostinside 11-25-2008 02:51 AM

Stockers stretched right now. I'm going to put on 255/40 in the rear and 245/40 for the front. At least that's my plans for now.

Zelse 11-25-2008 06:05 AM

why go staggered? Won't feel good.. :x Just warning. But do you think it would fit though or not?

aghostinside 11-25-2008 09:05 AM

the back would fit[plenty of room] i'm not sure about the front. i have heard 255/35 fits for sure. still new to these 8s haha. ask me any wheel fitment for an evo and i could tell ya right away.

rg2s are niiice you'll love them.

jaii13 11-25-2008 09:31 AM

ghost, fantastic rims. Great choice :icon_tup: :icon_tup:

Zelse 11-25-2008 10:34 AM

:P Really? Thanks. You think $2100 for them shipped is a good price? Got that from a good source..sounds good to me.

aghostinside 11-25-2008 03:30 PM

Sounds like a fair price to me. I think I paid some where in that ball park.

Thanks jaii this is my second set. I love advans. I like volks as well but only in crazy offsets like +15. and that just dosent fit the rx8 as far as I know.

Zelse 11-25-2008 06:09 PM

Now Ghost..my buddy keeps saying if I get these...the moment I hit a pothole..they'll break and I'll crash and all that stuff. Any problems like that since you've had Advan's before?

Kadavr 11-25-2008 06:28 PM

I think your friend might be exaggerating, there are plenty of ppl running the rgII's just fine. I am actually debating my self between those and the rs.

hmm i've never heard that about advans. i've seen some threads about rotas that have done that. i guess any rim could break with the right size pothole. minor potholes haven't given me any trouble here in indiana though. just stay clear of curbs and watch the road ahead.

what i am saying is they will be just as strong as any other well made rim it just sucks worse to curb them or something of that nature because you pay so much. ya know?

maybe your friend dosen't like advans?:uhh:

luckily for me i haven't had any damage yet.(knock on wood)

kadavr i love the rs but the one thing i do like way better about the rg is that they have less spokes to clean.(i'm lazy)

Zelse 11-25-2008 07:18 PM

lmfao. Awesome. Thanks man. Good to hear. I guess the last question is where the hell can I get wheel weights?

aghostinside 11-25-2008 08:37 PM

You might give jon(Chico) at vivid racing a shout. I think he knows how much they weigh. He also runs advans on his s2k
