As for the wheels, we love our advan wheels. and the only way we were going to change them was to go with something that we felt was going to improve our performance and tie into our performance theme that we had for our final project.

We wanted to go with a super lightweight strong 18" wheels.
The VR G2 is 18" and at weights that are below 17lbs or so... forged by RAYS and the Formula Silver color, made this an easy choice for us.

Besides, we found a new home for the advan RZ. Sad to let it go but made someone else very happy.

ok well come out to the shop and confirm you think they're ugly in person. I'm not a big fan of most wheels, I'm pretty conservative in my choices but I actually like these on the car in person and don't think the pix (as as they are) do them justice.

9x18 ET50, 10mm spacers (so ET40), with 255 rubber... must rub like hell in the back, no?
Otherwise... sweet car... Love the rims, I'm getting more and more into these VR.G2...
So happens that we can actually buy this in the Netherlands, found a company importing them... Downside: around 2500€

We are running OEM alignment (which does include some negative camber). This setup does rub occasionally on larger bumps. But the aggressive looks outweigh the minimal rubbing. If these are run with no spacers there is no rubbing.
