I like them. I've always been a fan of the thinner spoked wheels. What color sedan do you have?

 

I'm running 245's on my 8.5" wide wheel and they are perfect IMO.

 

my sedan is diamond graphite, not my first choice though, wanted the ivory, but too bad it didn't come with black interior. i'm still having second thoughts about lowering it first or getting wheels. any thoughts??? i have an 05 6mt by the way.

I lowered my car first and then put on the wheels a few months later. There was a few reasons why I did this.
1) I couldn't afford to do both at the same time.
2) I didn't want to drive around with that 4x4 look.
3) If I had any major alignment issues, they would show on my old stock tires, not the new more expensive ones.

Just a thought about the gold wheels. I think they would of looked great on the IP, but I'm iffy about them on DG.

 

Advan is a great wheel. You can't go wrong with your choicel. The only thing I don't like about them is the price.

As for the color, I'd go with silver on the DG. It will stand out better and flow better with the car color and chrome trim. JMHO.

I did both, lowered my car and put the wheels on the same day. Just because the same shop did the alignment right away.

Keep in mind that if you go with springs, you will need to re-do the alignment about a month later, after they've had time to settle. I was shocked to see the specs on my second alignment.

 

i totally agree with you on the above reasons, this is why i am still giving a few more thoughts on purchasing the wheels.
i see couple of DG sedans/coupes on bronze wheels, not gold though, and i like the bronze on DG, i might have to do some photoshop work to get an idea. but i appreciate your input.
another issure i'm concerning about is of course camber, why is the camber kits so expensive on our cars, i used to drive an 4-door integra, and the camber kits is nowhere near $400 for the rear set.

i hear you on the advan prices, the best price i've found so far is around $650 a wheel, if you know your wheels, they are around the ballpark of any volk racings, i'm still waiting for replies on the weight of the wheel, who knows, i might just settle on some axis wheels or something along those lines.
i know about the alignment issue, and about the spring settling, but thanks for the advice.


just wondering what are you guys running as far as suspension???

 

Do Z's and G's have different setups as far as wheelwell clearance? I run a 19x9.5 front and 19x11 back with stock fenders. Hope that helps

 

Im not saying I didnt like your advice.
You two were the ones saying that my set up was wrong and blahblahblah.
Im just stating that I am running a 9" rim in the front with no issues responding to the thread and you 2 act like im a fool for running my set up.

whos the jack@ss now?

 

ok ok now pnut and skeleton.....

thats enough. thanks..

lets talk about the topic on hand..

thanks

do you have a coupe or a sedan???

ben

 

I have a z

 

Z's and G coupes definitely have more room to play with in the wheel wells when compared to a sedan.

 

I have the HKS Hipermax LS coilovers. They lowered my sedan about 1.5". I had an alignment done a couple of weeks after the install and the shop was able to get the rear into spec, but they were not able to correct the negative camber in the front. It's pretty mild really, so I haven't installed a camber kit yet. I have noticed a little more wear on the inside of the tire but since I am running 8.5" wide wheels front/back I am able to rotate my tires.
