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.

Prodrive GC05k

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.

obviously, make sure they have not sold since its been a while.

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.

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

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.
