Very nice setup and I have to say the Advan RZs are very SEXY! I think they look perfect on your car! Excellent choice of wheel style and colour. I used to own a set of Advan RS on my TSX and it was nice and light.

The Advans are very high quality wheels. Although cast, they are very lightweight. Congrats! Let's see so more daytime pictures!

copy cat!!!
JK...
i have the exact same rims/offset but got the gunmetal ones...
i want to know if you can check something for me...since we have the same rims, i want to know if you'll have the same problem as i do...
i'm pretty sure rick won't since his rims have a less aggressive offset as ours...
anyway, since the spokes/rim sits slightly out of the fender i seem to be getting a lot of rock chips...kind of getting me irritated.
i asked some other guys who have these rims but they don't have this problem since they got more offset then we do...
just curious...

This color combo looks good! Good job on pulling it off. The aggressive fitment def. make the 19s look bigger, but yea the +35s are def. going to rub unless you stretch your tires.

Thanks... it is def aggressive fitment for the F... i had to shave quite a bit to avoid it.. rite now i'm not having much problem. just on high driveways it rubs little bit..

The look is twitchin' and of course they rub! That is unless he has a solid rear (like a Harley hardtail) on it.
