Gunmetal Advan RZs on Sedona Pics!
Took some pics today after picking her up. Had some decent light conditions, but of course the two cameras I used sucked.
Oh BTW, before anyone asks, the tires are 225/40/18 and 245/35/18 Michelin PS2s. No rubbing that I noticed, though it's a pretty conservative setup. Special thanks to the boys at WSTO! |

The one thing that bugs me about the 1 series is that 18" wheels look like 17's and 19" wheels look like 20's. No matter what wheels you put on there, just either look too small or too big. I think the Evo X has the same issue.
Anyways, the RZ's look good, but for me I would need them a little bigger, what suspension are you running? |

Looks sick! Clearly you need to slam that thing...also as a fellow RZ owner can i recommend this product to keep the brake dust off, it works great:

I have the Dinan Stage 3 suspension. It's lowered about 1/2" IIRC
Will do my best to get to the next meet, maybe even get to the classic one this Sunday if I can convince the little lady. |

Fronts are 18x8 with 45 mm offsets and about 18 lbs, rears are 18x9 with 50 mm offsets and about 19 lbs.
I also used Tyre guardian since the tires aren't run flats, hopefully it does its job. But between the reduced weight and the stickier tires, it feels noticeably more nimble. |

Tyre guardian is supposed to help prevent tire punctures by coating the inside of the tire. I think it works similarly to the fix a flat goop, but you put it in the tire before you get the flat and then it seals around the puncture.

I really want those wheels but in silver. The offsets are made for the 1, they are light weight, everything is great........however, over $3K thats a lot of coin for me

Wheels are flow formed, I believe. They have forged ones (designated RZ-DF) but not sure if they have them for our cars.
I thought that was a lot of weights too. Noticed some vibration at high speeds, but I'm not sure if that's due to improper balancing or the Tyre Guardian. Probably will get them looked at some time in the future. |
