I'll update the post soon with some better photos of mine. Not going to crosspost the same 3-4 phone pics everywhere...rather have some good ones once the weather clears

daaayim, always love bronze on red. Nice combo!

I'm looking in to getting some rg3's as my next wheel but was curious if anyone knows whatsize is good to clear the buddyclub bbk or one similar in size. I'm all ready running a 255 squared set up so my fenders are already taken care of as far as being rolled.

I know the 18x9.5 +45 will fit all the way up to a 355mm BBK.

If you're looking for a 17" wheel, then I'm not exactly sure. It should be pretty forgiving given the face though.

Yea that's what I was thinking too but I'm deff. Looking to staying with a 17 for the wheel size. I guess I'll do some more digging on it.

What color center caps should go with? Black or silver? Car is silver stone.

Silver Center Caps, for sure...
Almost hopped on these, but I dig the RS over RSII and 10" was a bit too much for my tiny testicles.

Gonna look amazing!

Can you tell I have a type of wheel I love?!

I've had Advan RS on my TL for the last 2.5 years...18x9 +29

Loved them so much, I bought a set of 17's for my last S2000...
17x9 square +45

After I sold the car, I eventually sold the wheels...the week before getting another S
Kept in touch with the new owner of the wheels (SUP CRAIG), who had purchased to make himself a staggered set. We worked out a deal and he sold me my rears and a set of fronts that he split up...got them powder coated "mega grey" and here I am now...happy as a pig in shit.

17x8 +37 Front
17x9 +42 (45+3MM spacer) Rear

DAMNNNN!!!!! All three cars look great! Funny how I was actually looking at buying your RS's when I saw them on Craiglist a while back. I live in west palm beach. That's what got me looking into Advans and ultimately led me into buying the RSii.

I'm currently using my silver OEM Ap2v2 centercaps. With a little bit of rigging, I got them to fit snug and they actually don't look bad. I'll post some pics of the car later tonight and let you guys judge and tell me if it looks cheesy or not. My wife is pushing for black centers, so I may just pick up a set anyway.

Thanks man!
Damn, I wonder if it was my set!?! If it was up until March of this year, probably!
Glad you love them, can't hurt at all...I've got a few different options for rigging the OEM caps but at the end of the day, the wife is like...dude you spent that kinda scratch on nice wheels and you're trying to cheap out on centers?!?!

LOL...
Black can work but I'm big into a defined center and giving contrast!

On the front of the 8" the center sits so far in that I can't put the hub ring on so I had to carefully use the lugs to center.
