Didn't think I'd like them on anything but black, but you proved me wrong. They look great!

thanks guys

Yea i gotta change the color of the brakes i got a powder coating gun i might just color them black or gunmetal not sure yet. I just put a HKS Hi Power wit burnt tip and ran it to one side. I still have to clean up the trim but it was melting the tip cover, bumper whatever its called but i took it off for now. Glad you guys like them. Not sure what to do about center cap, lazi's wont fit these wheels but on advans site i found caps that cover the hole but Lord only knows where and how i could get my hands on them. Thanks for the replies

Hell yeah! alot of people aren't big fans of 3-spoke rims anymore, but I LOVE them... They always looked great on RX7's and it appears they can be pulled off with an RX8 aswell.
These look really good on your car, well worth the 7 months

I prefer this style over the style that Lazi has just because of the wider gap between the spokes, but Lazi's look hot too!

Yep i figured i had the wheels. but not on these wheels, im gonna sell my stocks and pick up sum 17s for drifting. Still dont have it down, Yet. but im practicing. got most basics down, (figure eights and 2nd gear turns). Its just the high 3rd gear drifts I'm to chicken or i spin out. got the agency power rear sway and end links, seem to help.

Damn three spoke bastards, why didn't I get that manny complements on my Advans. I only got a few positive comments. It seems like everyone loves yours, hahaha I don't care anyway I love my rims. Welcome to the Advan so dose that make 3 people on the club that have them, or dose anyone else have them on their ride?
