Hey all,

kept it underwraps for a while seen i wasnt sure if they would arrive damaged or not like my enkei's i ordered a while ago...

but here are my New ADVAN racing RS 18x8 - mint condition ready to be fitted with some treads. Most likely Yokohama advan A10e - as these were great from factory...but still deciding

- Thanks all

Nice!

However, scrap the overpriced A10e. I had those also, now have S-Drives which are cheaper and far, far superior.

nice rims mate, what offset did you get ?
I suggest Advan AD08' if tracking or S Drives for road tyres as Craig suggested

AD / Craig - thanks guys

Yoko S- Drives mmm il research them... i plan to stay on the road much much more then track...i want comfort...as well as the ability to not understeer like my current Federals...

craig - what size are u running ? 235 40 /18....im trying to keep my rolling diametre as accurate as possible...

+45 offset...not going to be hella flush but should look and fit reasonably well - i plan to raise the car about 1cm all round as well from its current setup..

I find the S Drives on mine brilliant as a daily road tyre. You'd have to push really hard to unstick em, but why would you be on a public road?

oh good,

i find with the federals... the car sorta goes where it chooses not so much me the driver... in the wet they just wonder wherever...in the heat they are great.

i want a reliable all round tyre...one that has great grip...yet its safe all year round as well. plus it has to look "hot" on as well...cant have advan rims with shitty tyres

S Drives are just a brilliant road tyre for all conditions, no cheap but then again nothing good ever is.

Not much difference between the S-Drives and AD08's in price, but I'm expecting much better longevity from the S Drives than I would from AD08's.

I'm running them on my stock wheels currently - 205/50/17
As huggy_b said, it takes a lot for them to let go.

I've just bought rims and when they go on they'll be wrapped in 225/40/18 S-Drives
