Gold yes. That was actually the easy option but I opted for gunmetal which was actually more of a pain in the *** to get.

Wow, its worth waiting for. the pictures that is. I think it looks realy nice! I like that it matches your black Evo. Congrats man. Do you think that if you got 235/40 tires that it would still continue to rub? Still making a decision what size tire to buy.

The problem is tire height, not really width. If you see the pic with the tire turned you will see the top of the tire rubs the black fender lining on turns. A 35 series would be great.

+1 the tire is a lil taller so with s-techs there will be slight rubbage. I had 245/35's on my 18x9's on my VIII and didn't rub with my s-techs. On my IX I have 245/40's sitting on espelir gt's. So no rubbage cuz the drop isn't as agressive.


BTW: I love the rims but personally I'm glad I didn't get them. It seems everyone is buying these things now.

Looks great man! I want these rims in the worst way but gonna wait till I get this thing paid off this summer before any major coin is dropped on rims or anything. I already spent about 2 Gs this spring on brakes and engine parts so holding off for a bit. I hope these look good with 255/35s and Tanabe GF-210s. Your combo looks great!

Why would Advan give you the rings? They dont know what car your putting the wheels on.

The shop you bought them from does, they are the ones who should give you the correct rings.

Yes like someone mentioned it will work without them, BUT, then your studs are supporting the weight of the car. The hub is what is supposed to do that.

Make sure you get the other two rings.

I posted earlier in the thread prior to seeing the new pics. I love these rims more than my fiance. Oh, I forgot, she is the one buying them for me on my b-day. Nevermind. Love them the same. Great rims.

But they are becoming a more popular rim now.
