Yeh, pics even sitting in your wardrobe would be nice

Where did you end up getting them from? I can only find these listed in 17x7 in Mini fitment.

Oh and by the way they weight less than 16lbs each.
Don't tease! put up some photos ASAP!

I ended up getting them from www.ewheelz.com but they're available from several different sources. Be prepared to wait at least 6 months though as nobody has them in stock and they have to come from Japan. Gonna take some pics right now and post them up.

No can do I live in an apartment and my car is parked down on the street. No chance I'm lugging all 4 wheels down to street level just to take a picture.

Picture of a wheel is forthcoming the camera battery is charging.

Its not the RZ but at least we get the idea.

Yup a photoshop product but it's just an indication of how the RZ will look on a R53. It was taken from the Bond MINI Japan website.

If you look deeper into the ADVAN RZ, they do come in a 17 x 7 ET42 M14 for the MINI. I did find a pic from Japan with a MINI with the RZ but i can't seem to relocated it anymore.

Hello guys

i am from Bangkok, I accidently found this thread from our photo's link.
here are some pics

ADVAN RS



ADVAN RZ



for those who are looking for wheels with good brake clearance,
i'd recommend Yokohama. From our Experience, Kreutzer Xi has got the best brake clearance. It has at least 1 cm space left with STOPTECH big 4 pots (Caliper 6.2 Inch thick)

Din.

Cool! I do not understand why i can link the pics to show in here.

Do you have more pics of the RZ on a R56? Or some pics of the colour differences between the silver, met grey and bronze?

Thanks

sorry i only have the ADVAN RS Silver on R56
the ADVAN RZ above was from the R53.

Bronze color, i've never import to Bangkok before.
Only Gold i've seen but they are for Japanese car applications only
