Love these rims
I just can't get over how much better the AR1s look over the stock crown spokes. Way more aggressive and sporty look and it really seems to accentuate the fact that it's been lowered.

My 5th set of wheels :P
They are Advan RSII's. 17x7 ET42 with 12mm spacer up front. Wrapped in 205/45/17 Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3.
Waited over 6 months for these wheels to arrive. Still waiting for my center caps though.

^^^ You're worse than me. Wheels look great - and I liked the last set, too.

Those are some nice looking wheels, I'm considering them on my very short list!

I noticed, I can't find them anywhere!

Will these fit my 07 MCS?

They are Borbet Design XA wheels. They may be custom painted black. There's a few more pics of this car on V-Maxx's site under the "show your ride" tab. The owner's name is "Sylvie". They should fit your R50.

Thank you very much! I couldn't find any information on them at all. I can now get a better feel for them and get some better pics to see if I like them as much as I think I do.

Still need to trim the fenders a bit so I can go a little bit lower.

Fresh from the powdercoater, BBS RG-R. Sad that our Rav4 has a more aggressive wheelset in comparison

Just got these wheels, Motegi FF7 17", they seem to be nice and vibration free but I can't tell since there is more road feel from the previous 16s I had. Should I be running hub centric rings?

I like those last wheels you posted, I'm assuming that's what you settled on.
