Advan RZ Wheel 18X7.5 4X100

Will these fit my R56 JCW? If so, I think I've finally found my wheels!

They make a wheel that fits, but it won't look like the one in the photo... not exactly atleast.

That is the deepest dish shown, where-as the offset for the ones that fit our car will not give it that deep concaved look.

The one that they make that fits is the 18X7.5 4X100 right? What is the deepest offset it can handle?

+1

witness the Tenzo Type M as it's adapted from the staggered fitments to the MINI and other 4x100.

A very cool wheel for sure, but not as cool with the FWD specs.

I suspect this will be the same.

That is however, one of the nicest FD3S RX7's I've seen. A bit too "FATF" for me with the stickers and all, but I'm a fuddy duddy.

holy smokes...how come i never noticed this one. Ive been eyeing the Advan Kreutzer Xi which also comes in 18x7.5 4x100. The 42 offset might look something more like this....

Looks damn good to me! I prefer the RZ to the Kreutzer because of the slightly staggered spoke spacing as opposed to the equal spacing in the Kreutzer.

they are not a reputable vendor. TONS of issues on NASIOC.com (subaru forum)....in fact they were kicked off as vendors. You're better off going through other Advan dealers (Gruppe-S etc)

You know I could never really pinpoint what it was that I didn't like about the Kreutzers, but I think your comment about the staggering is right! It makes a big difference! Lemme know who you end up buying them from and for how much. I may be interested as well.

Thanks for the heads up PGT, I've actually found them for a cheaper price from another vendor and then came across a different vendor who vows to beat anyone's price so I'll let you know what I can get a set of these for.

Will do, gonna spend the next few days playing a couple of vendors off one another and will report back with results.

They're taking preorders without quoting a price from what I can see. Weird.

vendors almost never openly disclose price on specials (unless you want to pay MSRP). you need to PM them. Pricing rules from the manufacturers.
