no idea yet, if it follows the prices of other advans I'd say somewhere between $2500-3500 for a 18x10/18x11 setup

at least they plugged up the hole for the spokes though. that hole was such a pita with water getting inside they even sold plastic caps for it.

the fact that the entire center is polished is throwing me off, especially if the mounting holes are that far recessed from the wheel face. the TE37SLs at least didn't have that much area polished because it was flatter, so it didn't look as awkward.

I know some of these might be using a hyper disk to account for a BBK so that might explain why there is some much polished area but hopefully more pictures will be released soon with the specific fitment for the 370z

for most people i think they will appreciate the polished lug bores (if you want to call it that) cause they dont have the right sockets with plastic protectors and will scratch/chip them anyways.

also for race situations wheels are swapped frequently its just a pita worring about chipping your wheels i guess...(?)

I have a friend who works for Mackin and I remeber him telling me the guy who is in charge of the Advan wheel designs was a race car driver. He used to race some HKS facory cars, I think that's why you always see Advan wheels on thier cars. Anyway most of his designs are race inspired so I'm sure the bare center is about function like he said above ^.

If you are like me, Advan seems to be hitting the mark more than Rays lately on design for what mosy people in the US like. Concave and lip. I like those.

For it's price and design id rather get the rpf01's!
Definetly not feeling that polished center...

i'd love these in gold.. in 19's...

but I could handle 18s

The polished center definitely throws them off a bit but I like the overall design. I'm really digging the small GTR wheels with the beefy race tires.

Wheels look okay....

FIXED.

Mostly the CAD design and some showroom exposure. But yesterday they released some more pictures of the wheels in two different finishes and on several cars. So far it seems like these wheels are still in testing but hopefully in the final stages... I'll keep you guys informed once I have more info but for now here are some pictures

Check out our blog for more pictures: InsideKami

Glad to see advan step past the 10.5 width and into the 11. I would prefer to keep 19s on my 370z. If they release this in a 19x11 i will sell my played out TE37 overnight. I would consider an 18 if they did a 12", but my idea of perfect would be a 19x12

my gold TCIIs on my 350z. By far the lightest wheels I have ever had the honor to hold. You can hold them with one hand and fan them around in the air they are so light. the compliments i got on these wheels were ENDLESS, and pictures just dont do them justice, as im sure the pics of those TCIIIs do not.

Those of you complaining about the unpainted hubs... RELAX! besides, my TE37SLs are the same way and it bothers me a lot, never once bothered me on my TCIIs, maybe because the plugs where there for the hollow spokes. (TCII were hollow spokes, in the hub was a rubber blue cap for each spoke, if removed you could stick your finger in the spokes or hide drugs in there, which is what made them so light, unless you had lot of drugs in there).
