Well now that the wheels are as good as mine I'll stop being all secretive about them.

Here are some pics of the actual wheels.






Never seen them on an s2k before. I definitely like them and fitment should be identical to the rpf1s.

It's pretty much a crackhead deal on the wheels. Rims are in great shape, no curbage, and the tires have less than 1000 miles. And the setup comes with a 5th spare rim.

^^^Sounds like a good deal, and they look nice. They do remind me a lot of the 08-09 OEM rims.

The more and more I thought about it the more I think they look like the 08-09 rims but greatly improved. I definitely like the wheel a lot.

And yes they are non-staggered. My last two setups as well as my current is non-staggered and I'll never go back. These wheels are 17x9 +35

Dude, I almost posted thats what I thought you were getting.

I googled discontinued advan wheels when you gave us the hint, and these were the first ones that came up.

Looks good. Hurry up and get them on and get some pics.

haha. Yeah there really aren't many Advans that are discontinued. The original RC the RCII and the RG I know all are. Maybe one of the original Super Advan wheels.


Right now I'm just struggling to find a way to get these before the weekend. Really need to find someone in MD close to the shop they are at that can pick them up for me before the end of the week and then can meet me Saturday morning so I can then pick them up from that person.

Really hope everything works out with picking them up, Steve.

The 245/45 tires don't look that bad either. They look similar in size to my 255/40 XS's.

I thought the same thing. For as tall as the tires should be they don't really look it. As much as I drive they'll be dead in 6 months or less so when they are I'll replace them with 255/40s.
