Haha, the price is insane. The price for rims are going up like crazy these days. I love the rims nonetheless.

^^^ I was going to take a similar route; I had a set of Advan Model 5's ordered but I could not find a set anywhere. (Advan discontinued them, but still listed them in their '08 catalog)

T5's are nice but I don't like the spoke angles. (or lack of) I liked how the Model 5's spokes came in closer together as they reached the edge of the wheel. The T5'
s spokes are straight.


Comparison pic for anyone interested: (so as to sort of keep this thread on topic )

Model 5's:




Model T5's (what's with the weird shapes at the end of the spokes?)

I have the T5;s and having seen both on a car I prefer the look of the T5's, the spoke isn't as straight as the pictures above make out

Oh and those wheels are the Advan RS, not RZ as it was between the T5 and RS for me.
