Got my Advans

Well, after 100 days, literally, finally got my Advans-

Model T5, 19x8.5 in dark silver/gunmetal. Offset is 38mm. I have a ti gray so i think it should give a nice look hopefully.

Weighed just under 20lbs which im happy with and should take TPMS.

Believe it or not, after all this damn waiting, they are not mounted yet, as the thing slowing me down is the Mcgard Spline drive locking lugs I ordered. Got black lugs which are backorded, but are slated to arrive this week.

They'll be mated to 245 Michelin Pilot sport Ps2s. I'll post pics of them mounted this week, but these will have to do for now...

These are one of the best wheels EVER! Post some pictures once you get them mounted.

Where did you order them from?

Congrats! I've always loved the model 5 and have been curious to see this color on Ti Gray (that's what I've got). Can't wait to see them mounted.

Those are some hot wheels. They should go great with a grey RX8.

I'm also excited to see them.
