Advan's new wheel for 2011

Advan TC-III
18x8.5 ET35 225/35/18
18x9.5 ET35 245/35/18

I saw these wheels back in April and I knew I had to have a set. So I did. I went for a light stretch to fit these wheels comfortably in the rear so I went with a 245. I used to have setups like 245 on a 18x10 ET37 but I didn't want to go for a super poke, stretched tire look anymore. Something just flush. I originally had 255's in the rear however I didn't want to add anymore negative camber in the rear.

Rubbing? None. Yep, fenders are rolled, etc.

So I finally got around to taking the pictures yesterday. Excuse the shitty post-production. I'm gonna have to learn a thing or two from Jzhang.

Love it. Hate it. Post your comments. thez99, I can't wait to hear what you have to say <3

on your fenders you have a thick layer of metal that can be rolled to be more flat to give you more clearance for wheels/tires. The guys at Bavarian Exclusive and at LTBMW do a great job for fender work.

no worries. we were all once noobs

If I could be honest here. The wheels are beautiful and they look great on your car but the silver just doesn't do it for me. Maybe a little darker of a color would suit it better. Regardless its sick and congrats!

oscar757 · 09-06-2011, 06:56 AM

<3 that last pic. And the silver really does it for me!

M3Newbie88 · 09-06-2011, 08:01 AM

Mah... not bad but seem better on your car lol.. just my opinion

bogart · 09-06-2011, 08:21 AM

Nice aggressive setup! However, I'm not sure I like the color and something just seems off with photo #4... seems like the front isn't low enough and you need negative camber. I kind of wish the wheels always looked like the coloring in photo #2, that would be awesome!

dcho · 09-06-2011, 08:39 AM

awesome possom! now where is THE Z!? NINE NINE.

Focusedintntions · 09-06-2011, 10:07 AM

Good looking wheels for sure, but something seems off about them on the car. Dunno what though. Maybe needs some center caps? haha

timwin · 09-06-2011, 10:16 AM

Looks nice.. Glad to finally see funtion over form look the hella flush look is getting to played out even though it looks sharpe but not practically.

Kamal · 09-06-2011, 10:31 AM

unfortunately, they don't make center caps for these wheels because these are made for the track. Advan's intentions was to make it without a cap. And there are no grooves or edges where you could make a cap fit.

still a little more form than function. i'm gonna put a 255 back on there soon.

They look good but I think a slightly darker color might look better. Last 2 pics really rock.
