Advan Wheels anyone?

[lowandrusty]

I see threads for SSR, Work, Panasport, etc...but anyone else running vintage Advan wheels?
I got these at a great price and finally mounted them on the car. Ignore the monster truck height while the coil overs are being rebuilt.

Thanks guys! I Plastidipped it this past Sunday. First time ever using the stuff, let alone painting a car. It's not perfect, but I'm pleased overall and at least it's all one color again.

The A3Cs look to be in amazing condition! Are they 6j +6? Curious to know what sized adaptors you're running.

I no longer run my A3As but i do miss them, on the hunt for some wider ones.

Nice! I love the A3As. You nailed it, 14x6 +6et. The only other size they made in the A3C was a 13X6 as far as I know. Because of the flares, I'm running 38mm adapters in the rear and 25mm up front. I may switch to a 15 or 20 up front though when I put the coil overs back on. The clearance right now is REALLY tight when turning. I do wish they were wider, but I feel like it would be a shame to rebarrel these because they are in such nice original condition.

Original lips be damned! Yokohama was very weird in their size choices for their old Advans, even their most popular wheel (the A3A) was only available in 7j as yhe widest 14, 13s however I have seen up to 9j!

Definitely think you should widen them though! I have seen a wagon with widened A3Cs and they looked great.

[lowandrusty]

They do look amazing widened, I've seen a set online that had me drooling. I think I'll just widen my SSR MKIIs instead since they need refinishing anyway. The width is always the problem with these old school wheels. By the way, thos A3As looked amazing on your Miata!!!
