Super Advans

Three questions...

Where?
How much?
Worth it?

I saw a few threads with pictures of them and I was completely sold on the 3-spoke look... either that or the 5-spoke rims that are on the new spec Mazdaspeed kit (although that probably won't come out right?)

I hear they're really expensive, but I guess I want to know how expensive they are so I can line up a few clients. :D Unless... if anybody needs a website. Takers? Hehe.

Are those prices for each rim or for the whole set?

EDIT: Okay.. thinking the whole set...



I really don't know if I could afford these... but wow.. they are sexy.

Yes! You were the one whose pictures sold me on these rims. :D Anyway... I guess I'm willing to work for them.. I'll just have to search for the ones that fit.

I can point you to a place that has some used. I think you can get them for around 1,300.00 with all the curb rash fixed and painted to any color you want. The only problem is they're in L.A. The last time I was there, they had a set in silver 18X8 and 18X9 rear. I think they even come with some used tires for that price. If you're intrested PM me. I even saw some in black with red lip if you're into that kinda style.

Av,

Although no one is absolutely sure the set on the mazdaspeed demo are most likely Advan Connoisseur 51Cs. I've yet to;
1. Find someone that actually has the installed on there 8
2. Find a dealer in the U.S. that can quote me a price

I personally think those rims in gunmetal gray are by far the best rim combination that you can get for a Sunlight silver 8.

Please let me know if you find out any further info.

Okay, for some reason I am now hooked onto those wheels that I posted above... are there any other rims (that fit our car) that look like that? o_O; I would be forever grateful. I just think those rims would look awesome on an 8.

Well, your opinion.
It's like the guys who really hate the 3-spoked ones.
But yeah, it's like hell trying to find Advans that aren't used or aren't beaten to death.

Hmm, not bad at all. :D
It would be pretty cool to join the small 3-spoke club...
Wonder how it would look with the Vertex Lang kit I want.
