Not to be bashful, but why do you need advan wheels for your lancer? You realize that a set of advan wheels + tires are going to cost you probably 1/3 of what your lancer is worth.......it just doesn't seem like a good purchase if you ask me.

You can get nice wheel and tires packaged from www.wheelsnext.com for like 700-1000(1/3 price of advans/tires) and use that extra money towards something else for your car.

Just a suggestion.....

yeah, np. just making a point. Do advan make a couple wheels in 4 lug? I guess I just assumed they only made 5 lug and all their wheels would be wide.... to wide for a lancer.

Do you happen to know what kind of tires they sell with these packages? I want to get the Enkei RSV's (in bronce) from them and it says the tire size is 205/40/17, but it never says what brand or anything. If anyone happens to know please let me in on that info! Thanks -Brad

I think they come with nankangs.... not very good tires. I bought my wheel/tire package from them and paid an extra $200 or so to get toyo proxes 4's.

I have RSV's that I got from wheelsnext and the tires I got are hankook. They're actually great tires and I've had them for almost 2 years now (daily driven) and they still look and perform great. Also, I'm not sure if Advan makes 4-lug wheels. I know a lot of the expensive japanese wheel companies like work, advan, etc don't make 4-lug wheels. But some of the companies custom make the wheels for each car, so techincally they could probably do 4-lug. Best thing to do is call or email the manufacturer directly and ask them. That way you know you're getting the correct info.
