Wink New Rims: Yokohama Advan RZ!!

So as promised went out to take some pics today of the new rims, They're Yokohama Advan RZ in Dark Gun Metallic 19x9 offset 25.

Now before anyone comments on the rear bumper paint being off I know, it actually doesn't look as bad in real life but from those angels it made the difference shine lol. I'm going to be getting it re-painted once I get a rear diffuser and I'm hoping with the weather and all it'll blend in more, because that's the same colour that my mad flaps were until 8 months later they blended in. Anyway enjoy the pics and lemmi know what you think.

Oh as for driving feel the steering feel lighter and turning into corners has become a lot easier, also rebound when going over bumps aren't as harsh as before. It has made the rear end tail happy











Oh yeah and I know I need BBKs, the Akebono's should be ordered by tonight

and I need to take better pics from the front

Those are pretty nice rings, i always see them in Bronze, but i'm drooling over Volk RE30 or GT30.

I got some cash which i can order rims, BBK, diffuser, sport bumper, and everything i want, but i have a case and i need to pay my lawyer fee's .

Thanks dude, I actually have the vinyl strip for the chrome window surrounds with me, I'm planning on getting it done next week sometime. I've also ordered the brakes already so hopefully going to get them installed within a few weeks.

^ Honestly yes, Especially when I first installed them.

The first bump I hit I was expecting it to be a harsh rebound but it wasn't it was much smoother than before. Also the turn in when going into turns seems easier and lighter. The rear seems to fish tail every now and then when pushed.

One thing I have noticed is that with the lighter wheels I do get slightly more road vibration/feel through the steering wheel, I'm guessing because they're lighter and so when the tarmac is in bad quality you can kind of feel it a little bit more now than before. Nothing that's too annoying.
