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

Although MOST of Advan wheels are not forged, their casting method is far superior compared to other cast wheels. Sucked it happened, but hopefully not too bad and can be fixed.
what are the specs?!
Another member of the group, finally got them on the car. I was hoping for silver but you buy what's available. The gunmetal is growing on me though.
Those are great specs for your ride height. If anything.. maybe shave some off the front hub pad 3-5mm but that's just being anal on my part.
I like that the Model 5s are versatile enough imo where you can run it on stock height or slammed. Looks like a win to me.
I have taken the NSX to a couple car meets and it's been attracting a lot of attention. Question: I had my rims refinished recently and noticed that the inner barrel was not done. The finisher said it's not included in the price and wants additional $50 per. Do you guys think it's worth getting the inside finished? I would probably be the only person that notices but I think they should have done it initially.
I can't believe how good those look on yellow.
any pictures of the inner barrels? i cannot believe they didnt tell you from the onset that the inner barrels would not be done!... but at the same time if your inner barrels are the gunmetal shade you had before, all things considered its not a bad scenario as the inner grime/brake dust from daily driving would make the inner barrels hides the darker color anyways (and the inner barrel would likely look the same even if it were refinished oem silver)
i definitely think you made the better choice with oem silver + yellow. now all it needs is more of a drop...

x2. Although they really should have done the barrels... You may be better off with them a darker color.
Silver looks AMAZING on the yellow... and clearly she's getting some attention and turning some heads! Little more drop would look good, but overall looks great.
lmao. What kind of ghetto-ass place did you go to that they didn't include the entire wheel. haha
Seriously. The place that powder coated my wheels covered every millimeter of the wheel. I was surprised. I figured they'd leave the hub face at least. Came out to about $100 per wheel after tax.

Unfortunately it's a function of where I live. These are supposedly the top guys in the area -- that both local dealers and Indy shops contract with.

I don't know anything about dropping the car. What can I add to the zanardi suspension to drop it slightly?
Beautiful. Classy yet modern finish in the wheels
lots of these for sale now. the Don is releasing all the supply into the market. Just imagine if DeBeers did that! lol
Yes but all the sizes and finishes are different so there's something for everyone!
