Advan AVS Model 5's, where are you at?

[oscar_driver]

Well, I needed t install new rubber, so, end up doing some PLASTI-DIP fun times and here is the result:

From a very dark and cloudy day:

to a Sunny and early sunlight day

Also went back to my Type-R wing!

I was LOVING the clean look @ my car but, I like it dirty!

Damn that looks good.

Now that shot looks good. I always liked the 02 wheels more until that shot.

 

[oscar_driver]

Thanks guys!

This dear friend I have (we go to lunch fridays) was confused, she was ... "WAIT?? IS THIS A DIFFERENT CAR? LOOKS BIGGER" ... I guess is the wing + for some reason the wheels been dark look more aggressive and somehow bigger ...

OH, BTW, it was FLAT BLACK, but after 4 layers of Plasti-Dip, I added a layer of just barely any GunMetal .. just to add some "sparkles" ... I am happy, I think that as soon starts to peel off, I might just paint them for real ...

Oscar.. I'm surprised how good that looks. Nice combination of plastidip colors. It has some "pop" that you don't see in regular black wheels. I approve sir.

Oscar, looks sick! Best combo yet. And the wheels definitely look BIGGER than the silver! Which is unreal, usually its the opposite!!

two thumbs up!

I got my set refinished today. Here's a quick shot--by iPhone (nothing fancy like the rest of you pros). BTW, I've developed a small vibration after a front wheel swap--for the experts, look into this thread and see what you think:

No, he went from Gunmetal to Bright Silver. I really like the bright silver on the yellow...

I love this. Thanks for sharing.

Looking at this some more... your color combo creates for a very even "pop". Might just be the lighting but still.. A very timeless look.

 

[ozone]

Thanks RYU and myw. Chris is right--I had a gray/gunmentalish look which I thought was really good actually. I don't remember the paint code offhand but I think it was the same as the S2K. Looked silverish in direct sunlight.

But I always wanted to try out bright silver and I think it fits the car. Also I wanted to make the BBK pop a bit more and I think the silver helps in that.

 

[myw]

the bright silver works nicely as its a timeless color, and the nsx is as timeless of a sports car as it gets.

 

[Ric]

Wheels with silver finish always look good on cars. It's timeless. Other finishes look good for only a period of time, then they suddenly look out of date as time marches on. They are like flavor of the day, so to speak.

 

[Nero Tenebre]

I also like the silver/machined look best on wheels. The wheel starts disappearing when you go gunmetal or black which can defeat the whole purpose of a wheel design. It can look mean though too so just a preference, and it appears clean longer.

Anyways, what lug nut seat type do the model 5 wheels have, and what is the center bore?

 

[myw]

THIS. although i think a finish in between silver->gunmetal would look beautiful.

What NSX factory-colours haven't been snapped yet w/ Model-5s? Meaning we need to get others to partake in the way-of-the-Model-5!

I actually had the happy medium between the 2. Looked great but I really wanted to try silver. How it was:

Ill never forget this godly advice.

Ill never forget this godly advice.

Get some 2x4s and let's repeat next week

 

[Stephen@NCAutoUSA]

2x8's or 2x10's would work a little better I think.

I'll be joining this bandwagon soon with a few sets. One will be for sale, other will be for myself or for sale too. Depending on how I like them compared to my Kreuzer V's.

I'll have a 17x7 offset 35, 18x10 offset 19
And 17x8 offset 38, 18x10 offset 19.

I'm debating also to get my personal set machined like the other guy 5mm to make the rears 24 unless someone wants to trade a 18x10 offset 45.

Both my sets are bronze.
