Advan RSII group buy: gauging interest

I know everyone try to save money but this is a lot of money, if this goes down like tamoske group buy I dont wanna imagine what gonna happen. So Dave, u need to watch ur own back also
 
Guys I am closing this out very soon. We will see a post by the vendor early this week giving all the details. Thanks to everyone participating. We've more than ensured the discount I've received with the number of buyers. I'm going to try to get one extra bonus for everyone still. It's you guys participating and making it the size that it is that is making all this possible. Thank you.

I'm not sure what that means, "watch your own back", I hope it doesn't mean like it sounds.

What does Tamoske have to do with me? I haven't and won't be collecting a dime on this. I just organized a discount for everyone, and it is going through a top advan dealer in the country who is authorized and reputable. I'm not in Lithuania taking money for parts I haven't made. You can call the national advan distributor and ask him, they are aware of what is going on.

This is no different than if the guys wanted to go on their own and buy wheels through an authorized advan dealer.... Except that now because of the group buy and participation they get a great discount.

I was told there would need to be a minimum of participants to get this pricing. So I ensured that not only we had that number, but way above and beyond that number so that even some people drop out, it won't affect anybody. I assure everyone we are very solid, I just do not need another single buyer by any means, but I don't want to leave anyone out.

For the rear? Or front? Rear has plent of clearance. I would get the et35 rear, but I have seen people also clear with et25. The 25 is super aggressive, 35 us pretty flush and what I would recommend.

You can also go 18x9 rear, and I am seriously considering that size myself with a 255 tire.

Hey why don't you get the 9.5" rear? Is it bc only one offset (+45) is available? You could still run a 255 on that and your offsets front and rear would match perfectly if you got 17x8 +45 fronts -and your contact patches would be altered by almost the same amount front and rear. Plus even though the 9" is lighter it could look wider, depending on how much you care about looks vs performance. 9.5 would be a good compromise with the ideal matching offsets for performance... That's what I am thinking. Thoughts anyone?

Do you know the exact weight of the 9 vs 9.5 vs 10" rears ?

Yes, because the 9.5 is only 45. Also 45 front will most likely not clear stoptechs, I am trying to get a 100% answer on that now. It's looking more like in order to ensure clearance for everything, and for I'd say 90% of people on this list, the combo will end up being 17x8 ET 37 front and 18x10 ET 35 rear. Both are pretty flush, both are GTR face, both keep track ratio similar to stock (although wider), and both clear any BBK I know of.

If you are super low, ET 45 front will probably give more fender clearance.

Are you gonna update your color, Mr. Procrastinator?

Guys our vendor will post today or tomorrow. I am still working to get us one last bonus.

As a footnote, another vendor wrote on prime today "thank you for your orders, our first batch will be shipping this week". Whatever they say is shipping for whoever, it isn't this wheel. We will get our RSII's from the first batch that arrives in the country.

Guys I just want you all to know I really appreciate you sticking with me.

I think I can speak for most if not all that we really appreciate you sticking with it. You put a lot of time and effort on this project.

Thanks Les. I really didn't know it would require this much work. I have put in 50-60 hours into this EASILY. It really has hampered my dayjob. I would be lying if I didn't say sometimes I just wanted out, but I can't tell anyone "find the answers to that question on your own"... or "No, it's too late for you". Tech support is easy for 3-5 people. For 40+, plus S2K owners, it gets overwhelming.

But that's not what really got to me... An order this size causes much "behind the scenes" B.S. There are quite a few unhappy people right now. That's really all I can say about it. And I have had to deal with the repurcussions of that. I wish I could just come out and tell everyone everything but I can't. There are awesome guys on this board who PM'ed me and supported me... and I really appreciated that. No one really dropped out, and I appreciated that. Just tells me guys on this board have integrity and they recognize when someone works hard for them and is honest with them.

So getting back to the subject at hand... one question that has come up has to do with the concave of this wheel. Does it change with wheel width on this wheel. In other words, is an 18x9 wheel et35 less concave than an 18x10 et35. The answer is no. More material is added behind the center section where the wheel bolts up. That gets thicker, pushing the center out more, keeping the concave the same.

So to those guys that have a concern that if they go with a 9" they will have less concave, or if they go with an 11" they will have more, it doesn't matter. The asterisk denotes GTR face. It's the same face on the various widths. This info was given to me today by the rep for Mackin, the U.S. distributor for Advan.

I am still trying to get final BBK clearances on various offsets. Some "expert" vendors are over-estimating required offsets to cover their ass with certain BBK's. I just don't like not being precise. So I will get to the bottom of every application.

If anyone is confused about what they need, feel free to PM me
 
I love the Advan Rs and RsII but damn... if 39 more NSX's will have these I think I know what set of wheels I do not want :biggrin:

Jk guys, great wheels. Excited to see all the varations. I know where to look in a few months for a set though (parts for sale section) :cool:
 
I personally don't care at all if more NSX owners own that wheel. It's different cars, different colors combos. Although 39 sounds like a lot of people, like 6-7 are S2K's. And 30 people even on this small forum, is not a lot of people. A lot of people is 225 that have bought the guppy antenna. I feel like everyone got one except me. LOL...

Hi, great job putting this group buy together. What offset would guarantee that I wouldn't have any problems with a 17/18 setup on a stock 2004 NSX? Can you pm me the current price with center caps and lug nuts?
Thanks, Jim

Very big maybe depending on price (saving), I need to really think about it first though

I am not sure, are you wanting me to pm you with pricing or are you just making a comment?
