Does anyone knows a website to buy Advan wheels? Specially RG's? Oh and is there anyway to get a wheel that is 19x9 without using spacers and with a brembo grand turismo brake kit? I'm also looking for 2 Recaro seats used in the STI rally cars. Thanks

Advan RG's do not come in 19". That is a competition wheel and noone competes on 19's.
None of the Advan rims come in 19's as a matter of fact.

And, Mackin does not import Advan rims. They import Volk.

What is STi rally car? What seat are you talking about?

I got a Advan brouchure from the Mackin booth @ SEMA. I can only assume that they will be importing Advan wheels. Also, they make the Model7 in 19s (& have for years - my wife & I were diggin' those wheels way back in 98/99, way before there were 101 knockoffs). The Model5, 6, & Kreuzer series V are available in 19s, but the Connoisseur No.51C comes in 18,19 & 20in sizes.

But looking thru it again, they don't show the RGs, so maybe they will only import select Advan wheels?

pino, what are your intentions? Are you gonna make some showcar? Anyway, you can get custom made wheels (Both Work & iForge come to my mind.)

The Model5, 6, & Kreuzer series V are available in 19s, but the Connoisseur No.51C are not Advan rims. They are made by Yokohama, but are called AVS and not Advan. Advan is the motorsports brand of Yokohama. There are Advan tires and Advan rims. Not every Yokohama tire or rim is Advan.

Calling Model 6 an Advan Rim, is like Calling Gramlights 57S "Volks". They are most definetely Rays, but not Volk.

I doubt Mackin will be bringing Advan rims or any other Yokohama rims. They are Rays direct competitor, and unless Mackin stops selling Rays they will not be selling Yokohama rims. Mark my word.

I ment Subaru rally cars, and that particular seats it has made by Recaro. I already have the gold Advan RG's in 17x7s on my '03 WRX. I need to see if anyone sells the gold GTR design of the RG wheels since I'm getting an '04 STI too. Also if it will fit since the biggest size yokohama offer is 18x9.5 without using spacers. No show car here daily driven, well since I'll have 2 models... maybe. I also want your opinion on Lambo door kits?

GTR Design RG's are not available in 5x100 and in Subaru friendly offset.

Subaru rally cars use Prodrive buckets that are made by Sparco. Post a pic of the seat you are referring to.

You cannot fit a 9.5 wide rim and have it as a daily driver. Especially in 18".

Labmo doors are available but IMHO they will look weird on a 4-door sedan.

Well, you learn something new every day. I guess I just kinda figured that AVS stood for something starting with 'Advan'...or something like that. Never the less, I have a 3 page brouchure, from Mackin's booth, with all sorts of pics & specs on Yok/Advan/AVS wheels.

according to one of my distributors mackin will be his new source for advan wheels. this was told when i had recently inquired about a set of tcII wheels for one of my customers.
