Wheels similar to Advan Model T5
 
Anyone know of any wheels that look similar to Advan Model T5? I am only saying that because the Advan Mode T5s are around $800 a piece. I love the way it looks, but I am not sure if I want to spend over $3000 for rims with tax and shipping.

Thanks.

If you are looking for something cheap like Rota's or XXR's then no idea. I do not follow their models.

I know Prodrive has a split 5 spoke very similar to the Advan's. They are not inexpensive though so not much of an option.

Enkei produced a set for Mazda as well but they could be difficult to find.

check the rx8club classifieds FS section.. I SWEAR i saw someone posted up a set WITH tires for under 2k.

not sure if they were 18s or 19s.

you may have to do some digging, this was a while ago. Though if i recall, never sold.

EDIT: here you go.

if I remember correctly those MS wheels were only available in 18 inch and very hard to find.
Come to the Dark Side and join the Advan club. :cool:

Those prodrives are dreamy but very difficult to acquire as well I think

How much did you pay for yours? all together including shipping etc?

I am up north in Canada so it will probably be a lot more for me, and also did you get them online? thanks.

I think they can be ordered from their site. They are pricey. 18x9.5 $83,000 yen ($805) and 19x9x5 $97,000 ($940).

Jedi is correct about the Enkie's. I believe they came in 18x8.

Here is a pic of the Enkei's mounted on nycgps' car

Here's my T5's

I purchased them from www.sp-power.com
I got a great deal from them through a mutual friend but reach out to them and see what they can do for you.

JurassicIce 03-10-2014 11:51 PM

wow both look amazing, Jedi yours is beautiful. how much did you pay? 3k + had to be no?

Jedi54 03-11-2014 12:29 AM

I don't remember the exact price but at the time the wheels in that size retailed for about $900 a piece.

Damnit Jedi those look awesome. All the more tempting knowing that my bonus arrives friday.
