I' m a long time jdm car guy....i have advan wheels on my nsx... and now i saw this....http://www.yokohamawheel.jp/brand/ad...x_porsche.html

What do you think?

 

Wonder what they mean with "mold form forged"?

 

That could be another way of saying Flow Formed. Part of the wheel (the hub and spokes) is cast, but the barrel is "forged". Or at least that's my (limited and non-expert) understanding.

 

Hmmmm tasty. Would love a set of red or blue ones on my white GT4.

I had a set of Advan wheels on my old E46 M3. Love their looks.

 

There are pictures floating around somewhere of a Cayman on 20" gloss black Advan GT and GT4 aero. I can't seem to find them at the moment. Looks pretty good, however.

Personally, I'd be all over these if they made a 19" version

or, better yet, made a 19" version of the TC3...

 

These wheels appear to be monobloc ones, not multi-piece.

 

advans are excellent japanese wheels, on par with volks/rays

advans are typically a high quality cast wheel - cost effective and as tough as most forged wheels

 

From the website:
20*9 et 56 front
20*11 et 51 rear

i think that the suggested measures for the gt4 are too much aggressive or am i wrong?

 

i havent seen a gt4 running that front width/offset and doubt it fits. Possibly close though. You can definitely run 55 front on oem wheel size (20x8.5). Understand the rear offset at 55 I believe is pretty aggressive as is. May come down to tire shape and aftermarket suspension components but would be surprised if it didn't rub.

One of the wheel dealers here could tell you 100%.

 

They are fine. Remember the GT3 has a 20*9 ET55 in the front.

 

These are actually perfect offset. I run 15mm spacers on my oem wheels. Now the stock oem wheels compared with the Advans listed here have the exact same location of the inner edge. The extra width is towards the outside. Now when you compare the advans to the oem wheels with 15mm spacers they have the exact same outside edge. I can confirm that this setup will not rub.

 

You may want to check your math. A 15 mm spacer on OEM (front) wheels gives an effective off set of 46 mm. Numerous people on here have show that a 50 offset will rub on track; even with a 245 sized front tire.

 

I have nearly 4000 track miles on the car with 15mm spacers. They don't rub. Have had 4 sets of tire and 3 pad sets and I am on my second disc set. I do have 46 offset with the oem wheel and 15mm spacers and I can assure you they don't rub.

 

This is what I meant about the oem wheel fitting inside the envelope of the advan in oem spec and with a 15mm spacer. Having tested both I don't see why it would rub.

 

Thanks guys...and What about the rear?
