Thanks,
fenders not rolled I guess ?

 

Just a little shot at dusk yesterday

 

I know I've seen or asked before, but you're running 255's at all corners with no fender work?

I'm trimmed, but no rear tab location. Can't see needing it on the +63's. I think all black on my Rio AP2 will be a nice fit.

 

I am running 255's all around. I had to trim the front fender liners, and bend the tabs up. This was more of a precautionary step. Rear is stock. I actually just put 3mm spacers on the rear and still no rubbing at -3 camber in the rear.

The black is a very nice wheel and will look good, only downside to the black wheel is you lose most of the details in the wheel.


Here is another shot.

I like that fitment a lot, my car sits identically. I've got all 4 corners trimmed, so up front there should be plenty of room.

My main reason for black is because I'm REALLY lazy when it comes to washing things If Hyper black allows me to do that as well, I'm down with that.

Side note, which Zaino do you use on the wheels?

Thanks for the help, even though I'd have to pay more, I'd totally trade my car for yours in a heartbeat lol

 

^ Thanks! Lowered 1.25" front and 1" rear. I am also running -3.1 camber front and -3 rear so that really helps with clearance. Also threw 3mm spacers on the rear.

Hyper Black shows all dirt and is kind of a pain in that respect. Even when dusty dirty they look good, but of course look way better clean!! I think when or if you buy expensive wheels you will be more inclined to take care of them and keep them clean.

I had some Zaino All in One left over so I used that. I haven't used Zaino much in the past two years and unfortunately I am seeing that the Zaino does attract a lot of dirt and dust. When I get a chance and am not lazy I am going to wash the wheels and remove the Zaino and put something else on the wheels. That said though, when the wheels get cleaned, they look really wet and shiny from the Zaino.

Thanks


Oh and btw, these wheels are a pain to clean because of the side spoke cutouts and the raised ADVAN lettering. Lots of details that dirt and dust always make their way into. I did fill a spray bottle with distilled water and Griot's Waterless Car wash. 50/50 mix, works great for just spraying the wheels down and wiping them off with a microfiber!

 

When they are easy to clean that helps too haha

My winter wheels on my R32 are a breeze to clean, the OEM Aristo's with a million spokes take years. AP1 wheels are like that too with a lot of angles. But you're right lol It's either these or I will con Fish into selling me those diamond black CE28's and they will get a lot more TLC!

Keep us updated on what you use on them and how ya like it when ya make the change!

 

Advan RG2's 17 x8.5 +31 on 255/40/17 Michelin Pilot Sport Cups

 

^^^ RG-II or RG-D? Looks like RG-D's to me... If so, the offset would be 33, not 31.

P.S. how come your rims don't have the raised "ADVAN Racing" logo cast on the outer barrel between the spokes? Weird.

 

They're refurbished RG11's. They were originally white with the blue detailing.
