I'd go back to your BBSs in a second. Seriously. These just look unfinished and wannabe racy. If it's a track car, even occasionally, I'd understand completely. If it's not... no sir, I don't like these wheels on this car.

Makes the car look mean. I like that look. BBS are nice too.

I like them! How much do the weigh? If they are light, I will double like them!

Take a look at the S1 professors on the Rohr Welt cars. Not sure about the weight but they have a similar look and deep dish design.

finally got proper sized tires on. 235/285. So far, no rubbing but haven't driven the car aggressively yet. Hopefully I can take it out this weekend for some appropriate pictures. I love the concave-ness of both front and rear wheels.

Fantastic!!

911ist, I really dig the Advans and you're car is one of my favs here. The 235's up front are a great choice, I've been debating between that size or 225's, however, seeing you're fitment I'm going with 235's instead. So, thanks .
I'm happy Advan brought back the TC series as they sure are stylish+lightweight classy wheels_imo. Looking forward to you're next photoshoot.

Love it but where is the tire shine? What would going from heavy (RUF) wheels and 225/265 tires to light wheels and 235/285 tires do to the handling/feel?

I've never been a fan of all-black (or nearly all-black in this example) wheels, but, similar to what Joe (JM993) said, these do remind me of 917 wheels and have a cool look. I'm not sure I understand the silver center part and not sure that I like it, but, overall, I think they look bad-***.
