Dead sexy.

Any word on offsets, sizes or applications yet?

[PuccasBad_STI]

I wonder if these are replacing the RSs or are just a new wheel. these RZs look very much like RSs. I am getting my RSs these week! Now I gotta shell out some more cheese on some tires

I ordered a set back in May and I was told they would be here 1st week of August so I believe that most vendors will be getting their shipments in the next week or two... I am going nuts waiting for them myself...grrr..

[UsualSuspect]

Ah---Ha! That's why you were selling the RS's. I'm on the RZ's too...just waiting the word on which offset is good. I heard the 45 will work without any fender work.

[importfanatic17]

AFAIK, SpeedElement has them in their possession now.

Sorry, didn't mean to steal this vendors glory...

Do you guys know when you'll be getting a shipment? These look so ****ing sweet.

[bluesubiedude]

those are nice wheels, a buddy of mine has his set of RZ's coming in this week...

The RSs are long gone.... as for the offset, the 45 offset should work with little work... maybe just some camber but depending on the tire you gonna run you may have to roll the fenders a bit if you want to run a fatter tire and also depends on the suspension you gonna run... I went with the 35 offset and with the RCE yellows, I am gonna need camber bolts in the rear and camber plates in the front. Way I see it is, why go with 45 offset when they look so much better with a lower offset. Just look how good RSs look in the 29 offset. More pain more gain

Read This: The RZ wheel is a one piece wheel with a 10 spoke design that is very similar to that of the RS wheels from advan. They are based on the deep 'GTR design' of the RS but are available with the deep taper right across the range. However there is of course the Deeper 'GTR design' for larger sizes for extra effect. The other difference is that the spokes are actually pairs of 5 spokes with different spacing. Although you have to look carefully to notice this. The RZ has the strength and lightweight characteristics of a cast rim with the new advanced spun formation techniques. Between the rim and the spokes is a raised section, 1mm high that contains the Advan Racing Logo. After the painting process is complete this logo is shaved to expose the metal of the rim. Another logo is also placed near the centre of the spokes designating the Wheel as Advan Racing RZ. These wheels have a deep taper towards the centre for all rims. The wheel has a twin flange design because the spoke extends to the outer flange and the spoke itself tapers to the centre. With 10 spokes it is easy for the designers to create a structurally rigid rim and therefore allows the spokes to be extremely thin guaranteeing the same lightweight characteristics as the RS wheel.

wheels look sweet but what is with the center cap...

[SirMattieP]

How much more are these than the Advan RS?!?!?!?!?

[UsualSuspect]

Not much...but the ones that I'm interested in, like in the picture above, they're more money. The Hyper-Silver color, around $100 more each.
