Im looking at a set of 17" advans currently in the workshop of a cousin of a mate of mine. I dont want to give you my opinion, as theres some things I like about them and some things im trying to get used to. Im more interested in your general opinion.

I havent purchased these yet so no need to look after my feelings lol say what you will, good and bad.

My car is a pearly white TT identical to the one pictured below. I slapped the picture together in photoshop joining a photo of the wheels to a angled photo of a soarer.

Not for the soarer, may be good for 200 or skyline.

Not my taste, but seen much worse - at least they aren't Chrome and don't look like something from Ben Hur.

Super Advans on Yelloa3gti's car (clublexus). They are 18 x 10 +24 offset all around. I really didn't think these rims could work so well on a Soarer/SC until I saw these pics.

18X10 definitely would work, 17X7 belong on smaller 4 cyl cars with no balls look!

went down to the workshop on monday and had another look at them didnt end up buying them. theyll be sold to a new white R33 owner with the car itself.

I had them put next to the car, it just didnt look right. A white car with black advans w/ blue trim and red headlights. I just couldnt get used to it. From the side it looked very hot, but from the front view, when looking at the gold badging and orange indicator light, the wheels looked like they didnt belong.

I bet itll look good on Mr Smiths new Skyline though

advans have always looked good on nissans

well back to looking @ mags. if anyone has a set of 17's or 16's for sale ill be posting a thread in the WTB section.

oh and btw, that RSX with chromed Advans... thats phat!
