Broke one of my Advan RS wheels, sadly. Each of those wheels costs $739/ea and are made to order from Yokohoma in Japan, plus shipping, so needless to say I couldn't just jump on a website and order one and have it delivered in a few days. I decided to switch it up and got 4 new Enkei Tuning Raijin's in 18.8.5 in black from Tirerack.com (side note: fast 2 day shipping to my front door). These wheels look great but are a half inch narrower and 5lbs heavier than the Advans. On the positive, my tire rubbing has seemingly gone away due to the narrower wheel I would presume. Anways, these wheels shipped to my door cost just slightly over what 1 replacement Advan would have cost. I also have a buddy who will be buying my 3 good Advans at a steep discount and ordering a new wheel for the 4th so he's saving some big money on a full set of Advans so it works out in the end. Let me know what you think. (and yes, the Advans looked better)

New


Old

 

Looks great! Thanks

 

You lost the concave features of the Advan. I run a set of RGII's & youre right, they are expensive $$

Evo is a bit too high & needs some lowering IMHO

 

My Evo is lowered pretty decently and needs to sit higher in the back so it can squat. I'm running 600hp and plan to run in the 1/4 so I need to have some room for the *** to sit in the back when I get on it, because she squats bro. Also, it actually was lower in the back and when it went on the dyno they had to stop the first pull and raise the back because it squatted too far on the tires. For your everyday Evo, yeah, I would lower the back more. I drive my car hard on the street and the stance is based on my own self-feedback based on cornering and so forth. It's about as low as it could go in the front to where I don't get scraping on hard corners at speed.

This is AFTER the back was raised and dat *** still drops. Still think it needs some lowering? lol (don't mind my tuner, why he flipped his hat backward is beyond me. He's a big dork lol)

 

Im a huge fan of RS's, i had a set in white a while back. The new Enkei's looks pretty good too though

 

looks good. wheel offset?

 

Yeah the RS's are a great wheel...although they don't hold up to curbs lol. I'll miss them but not $800 a wheel miss them
