So these are the wheels I've always wanted... Just trying my meager photoshop skills to get an idea of what it might look like... Anyone know a shop or store who imports Advans?? Although I'd probably have to sell a kidney to afford them...



or maybe in blue... haha

They definitely will cost you alot brand new. You gotta specify which Super Advan wheel, as Yokohama made 4-5 versions (2 currently in production).

Brand new: any shop that sells Volk Racing wheels can get Advans, since both are distributed by Mackin Industries in the USA.

Gruppe S near San Francisco can also import them

Used: You'll have to do some hunting, and with some luck you'll find a 5x100 set. There are plenty of 5x114.3 Advans around.
Here are some shops that import used wheels from Japan.

These are the Super Advan Racing Version 2.... Although the Super Advan Generation II looks nice as well

Just get the Lowenhart LSR

TATTOO

those would be dope...im sure AXIS will make copy of them soon.

Samurai_Hack

then I'ld have to sell both kidneys and I'd die from malnutrition... 20 inch wheels make me lose my lunch....

Nerek

I'm a fan of the 5 spoke, the 3 spoke wouldnt look right especially on the tC.leave those wheels for sedans and luxury cars...

TCpete

memoryfab.com

also look up takumiproject in google. those should help you out.

Samurai_Hack

I can't afford them right now anyways so I may just go with the Kazera KZ-A Dual in black...

Samurai_Hack

nice websites... going to have to bookmark those

Nerek

Those are nice, i'd either go with those or Enkei EVO5's

What size are you getting? Are you concerned about weight, or just looks? The 17" black Duals weigh 20 pounds each, yet the Kazera KZ-V 17" weighs just 17. Just thought you might want to know, as such a weight difference is worth considering.

Samurai_Hack

Well that depends... If it was between the KZ-A or the KZ-B, I'd probably go with whichever is lighter... But the KZ-V looks too much like stock and not what I want so the weight difference wouldn
't be enough to make me go with the lighter of the two... If I never get my split three spoke advans, I'll probably go with a 5 spoke kind.. like the KZ-As, KZ-Bs or maybe the Axis Reverbs... or the previously mentioned EVO5...

We can get Advans, Work Wheels, Volks, Racing harts, Weds, etc. PM or Email me the size so i can get you a quote.

Those only really look nice on a 2006 SL 500.

Samurai_Hack

^^^ I really don't think 20" looks right on anything... but thats just me.... I know lots of people disagree...

trdtcpr

If you do get them blue looks better and more unique!! Those wheels looks awesome.

daewonder

i think the 3 spoke advans just might work on a tC. i think it would have to be mighty slammed though to look good.

Samurai_Hack

I'm still ambivalent... I've always liked that wheel design... it's just hard for me to look at a poorly photoshopped pic and see it as a whole.. I always either just see the car or just see the wheel... decisions decisions...

06SuperWhite_SoCal_tC

Its not the Size that makes the wheels, Its how they fit the Car. These Wheels happen to suit the SL500 very well. But they are more of a **BLING**BLING** kinda thing. Im a Valet...so i see all kinds of differnt cars in many different styles.
