My New Wheels Tomorrow - Help Me Choose

So I've got a buyer for my current rims and not really digging the black. Also going to put a 295 on to replace the worn 285s.

I am not decided by four wheels. I'm kind of liking the gold but don't know if it's too much? Not digging the BS look either but initially really loved them so left them in.

Advan RZs dark gunmetal


Advan RS gold


Raiden Project D's


BS Reps (the photo is not the rep but something I got off the net)

Thanks lyyca,

For now I think I am settled on the dark gunmetal RZs and the Raiden's. But really like the gold. Just scared it's overkill.

Thanks tim.

Rob, for the price I can get wheels out in Dubai, it doesn't make sense to have them imported but thanks man.

Was wondering if anyone has experience with the Nitto NT05's?

I kind of like the Nitto Invo. Very good tire for the price but did wear quicker than Contis, Pirellis or Michelins. That said, they were half the price and lasted 75% of the time so I'm not complaining. Now I am looking at a 295 NT05 or 205 Invo and can't decide between the two. I am looking for a great tire from launch between the two.

you will not get those concave spokes if you decided to go with TEs. I'd go with the RZs. the advan F15s are hot too

Thanks bud - I've custom rear arches so can easily get away with a 35 offset front and rear on an 8.5 front and 9.5 rear with a 295 rear.

I might just give the TEs in gunmetal a try for a few weeks. Who knows. Will see what happens tomorrow.

Thanks guys

I've got two F14 in gloss black and two in satin black 18 x 11" with a +33 offset if you want to try them. $200 each and they have used(50%) 315-30 Hoosier R6 tires on them.

Man you change wheels like shoes for real

+1 Advan RZs as well in dark gunmetal. Gold will be overkilled with the color of your car.
By the way how much the BS replicas vs OEM over there in Dubai ?

Thanks for that link. I might just go with the gunmetal TE for a while until I get bored of them and sell them on.

Unfortunately shipping out here is going to be a killer and I'd rather go for a 19" but not completely opposed to 18s. GLWS bud

I am more than likely going to go with the TEs. They are ready and waiting. Now gunmetal will be my color of choice but I will also put the white up to the wheel hub and see what they look like.

LOLOL

BS OEM used not available over here. There's very few of the BS in the country and owners don't generally change the wheels.

Replicas unfortunately are only available in an 18" but a 19 should be coming out in a couple of months. The 18" replicas are around $600 for the set.

Only in an 18" for the meantime but soon they will be coming out in a 19".

Yeah, I am really liking the look of the RZ but also the gunmetal TE's.

Will see tomorrow

Love the RZ

Where does one get BS rep wheels and do they fit the C63 offsets?

The BS reps only available in an 18" at the moment. I'm thinking of putting a white TE37 on for a month or so and then swap over when a new design that comes in is available. The RZ advans only remain in an 18"

Unfortunately, TE 37 only looks good with aggressive offsets. From your choices above, I like the Advan RZ.

Me too but it's only in stock in an 18" and I already have 2 x 305/30/19 used Michelins with 60% remaining for around $200 for the two.

The offsets of the TE37s are 38 rear and 35 front so aggressive enough for me

Unless something comes up between now and tomorrow, I will have them on tomorrow.
