New Advan RGIIIs (RG3) Hyper Black.

[Mengsta]

Hey guys, just got some RG3's put on. I believe this was the first batch to land in the States. I was worried about how it would look on an NSX when I first ordered since there weren't any photos to help me decide. Hope this helps you guys. I was originally set on Advan RS until I saw these unveiled at SEMA. Main difference between RG3 and RG2 is that the spokes have cuts in the side. Also the outer spoke attaches to the full outside of the rim, not a step down; this allows the spoke to concave a bit more. All in all I am very happy with these. Photos are unedited.

Couple more here for slow internet users:

Glad you went the hellafunctional route

Love this wheel since the first RGs! Looks like lots of clearance for future BBKs too.

Awesome! I ordered the same set, but wont be going on until the spring. What sizes/offsets did you go with ?

 

[synth19]

Hope you don't mind this crude photoshop. I wanted to see how these wheels would look on a lowered NSX.

I wonder what slammed would like.

Very nice ride........congrats

 

[Mengsta]

Thanks for the props and kind words everybody. No I don't mind at all Synth, looking at that photoshopped photo makes me want to go lower now though.... lol. Unfortunately at its current height, the rear camber is at -3.5 degree sitting. I don't know how some of you slammed guys can do it. I'm already pretty uncomfortable with that much negative camber as it is.

I went with 17x8+38 and 18x10+35.

Big thanks to Brylek by the way. Hes a very helpful member. I PM'd him months back with so many questions since I was new to wheel fitments on the NSX. He really helped me out. Synth I also sent you some PMs too. Thanks.

What tire choice did you go with? Looks like ZII's. Car looks really good!

 

[Stephen@NCAutoUSA]

I'm a fan of these wheels.

 

[Supra TT]

I'll be the first to say it: I kinda like the rs better.

 

[jcbadcura]

The RS is a different wheel. This is a nice clean look with some dimension. I really like them, especially on silver like that. Great choice.

 

[Soyboy26]

very nice wheels, looks good

 

[myw]

clean and classic looking

 

[NSX1145]

So the back wheels have no center cap?

 

[91 X]

nice, but Id be affraid of the RG3's lasting an entire season....:tongue:

 

[ITZJOW3]

Those wheels look great!

 

[Mengsta]

Thanks again guys for the props. I am still loving these wheels but am contemplating getting them refinished? It feels like I need contrast between the car and the wheel color.

My distributor forgot to send me the rear caps initially. They are on now. Will post some new shots in a few weeks after track day.

As for the RS, oh man it was such a tough decision going with these or the RS in DGM. The RS is still one of my fav wheels. I believe they are discontinued now so I have been secretly looking for a used set in this same size. If anybody knows somebody who is selling, that would be great! Would be nice to have the RS as a second set of wheels for DD.
