We have been working with Rays and Yokohama (manufacture of Advan wheels) on a program to offer special discounted pricing and special color option on the following three models of wheels. To achieve this pricing, we are required to purchase a minimum total of 20 pieces.

In order to eliminate delays caused by waiting on others to commit, we've stepped up to purchase the 20 pieces in advance. These wheels are already purchased - and are available on a first come first serve basis. There is no need to wait on a group buy.

I know several of you have been e-mailing us about this sale who are also involved in the other group buy on this forum, of which we are not a part of. If you have already committed to that group buy, please stick with it. If you have not yet committed, I'd like to present for your consideration why you should consider purchasing from ScienceofSpeed:
  • We are an official dealer of Rays and Advan products with a direct relationship with the manufactures. Working with the manufactures, we have in the past produced custom made wheels for the NSX and S2000 (RG-D and TE-37). This relationship has allowed us to offer not only the best pricing, but also the best service and features - such as custom colors on wheels and valve stems, etc.
  • Know that we have staff available via phone and e-mail to answer any questions you may have along with professional shipping of your order. If something happens to your order - you'll be working directly with the source to make it right.
  • We have unparralleled experience with particular wheel & brake fitment on the NSX.
  • We've arranged fantastic pricing - below jobber cost!
  • We have been very active in supporting the NSX community. We are one of the largest sponsors of NSXPrime as well as the NSXCA's NSXPO. Your decision to buy from us as a direction relationship in our ability to return some of the proceeds from our sales to the community. In the past year for example, more than $4,000 has been donated to NSXPrime and NSXCA. This also fuels our ability to continue to develop product for this niche market.

The prices that we've arranged are the lowest I've seen in at least five years, so good that I've decided to put a set on two of our own cars! For pricing, please e-mail us the model, size, and color you'd like.

Yokohama Advan Wheels:
http://yokohamawheel.jp/
The Advan RS and Advan RSII are included in this sale. Other models are available if there is enough interest (please e-mail us).

ADVAN_RSII_450.jpg

The RSII is a brand new wheel from Yokohama. It features side cut spokes which increase rigidity while decreasing weight. The wheel is not an RS with only side cuts on the spokes - it is a completely new wheel made with brand new tooling to Yokohama. The side cuts are molded in rather than machined in as a secondary operation - the increased cross section allows for a rigid wheel with reduced weight.

The RS is available in 17/18", 17/17", and 18/19". It is available in Gold, Silver, Dark Gunmetallic, and Bright Chrome. Other colors are available ((please e-mail us).

Rays Wheels:
http://www.rays-msc.com/
The new Rays 57Xtreme is included in this sale. Other models are available if there is enough interest (please e-mail us).

The 57Xtreme is Ray's brand new wheel split spoke design with a concave spoked rear wheel. This is a brand new wheel, and ScienceofSpeed is receiving the first sets in the US for the NSX. The wheel is available in Matte Graphite (dark silver) or Sunlight Silver (bright silver). Other colors are available ((please e-mail us).

These wheels have already been purchased by ScienceofSpeed and are available on a first come basis. Depending on the set, they will be arriving within 4-10 weeks. B]

We have until then to add any additional sets for the same discounted pricing.

We've had some ask about 18/19" in the RSII. Currently, only a 18x8.0+45 is offered - relative to the 19x10.0+35 this will look a little more inset in to the body (and will not clear Stoptech). We have contacted Yokohama to see if a +37 would be possible with existing tooling, and will reply back.
 
We've been asked if the same pricing can be extended to other models of Rays or Advan wheels, and the answer is yes. The best pricing is on the RS, RSII, and 57Xtreme. However, we can offer attractive pricing on other models as well. Please e-mail what exact model, size, and offset you are interested in.

We've also been asked if this same sale pricing can be extended to other vehicles. As we only specialize in the NSX & S2000 - we prefer to stick to these applications unless you know specifically what you are looking for in regards to the fitment.
 
Thank you for your orders. Our first batch will be shipping this week. We will update customers via e-mail an estimated arrival date on Friday.

We have several sets left on this batch for sale at the discounted price.
 
Is anyone interested in the RSII in 18/19" with a 18x8.0+37 front offset? This would allow the stance to match front and rear. It is not currently available, however, Yokohama may be able to produce this if there is interest.

regards,
-- Chris
 
Can you PM me price on a set of RS 18/19 Gold Finish? Thanks :smile:

Sorry, we don't have PM but would be happy to quote you if you'd drop us a line to [email protected]. If you'd like shipping included, please let us know your city, state, and zip code.
 
Advan RS 18x8.0+37 / 19x10.0+35 GOLD

Pricing for this? Feel free to PM me. Also interested in the RG2 Front and RGD Rear in GOLD, same sizes if possible (GTR Deep Face rear).
 
I would really like to see Advan make a 17" RZ-DF wheel.

What is the lightest and better wheel RSII or RZ-DF?

I would really like to see Advan make a 17" RZ-DF wheel.

What is the lightest and better wheel RSII or RZ-DF?

Sorry, this is not available. The RZ-DF is a forged wheel and only available in 18"+. Compared to the RSII wheel, it is only about .5 lb lighter per wheel, but about $1000 more for the set. A 17" RSII front is lighter than a 18" RZ-DF front. Most of our customers who are looking for a light combination of wheels will prefer the 17/17 or 17/18" setup - and the RSII is the lightest we offer in those sizes at this price range (especially at the current sale prices!)
 
hi guys --

Just a reminder that this Friday is the last day to lock in pricing on either a set we already have coming in, or to order any other Advan & Rays wheels with the negotiated group buy pricing.

Please e-mail [email protected] or call 480-894-6277 before then.
 
hi guys --

Our first batch of Advan RS & RSII (Semi Gloss Black) wheels have arrived, and are being processed for shipping. We are e-mailing customers today with notifications. Hyper Black/Silver will follow shortly. We have a couple sets left on this batch, 57Xtreme in stock, and quite a few more sets coming in - all RSII colors.

Please drop us a line if you are interested in either RSII, 57Xtreme, or any other wheel.
