Got my Advans mounted PICS
I finally got my Advan Model T5s mounted.
Dark silver, 19x8.5 on all fours, with 245/35/19 Michelin Pilot Sport PS2s.
I believe these are the first T5s in Dark Silver on the forum...Celronx has the Original Model 5s in silver.
Im happy with the look and they do really look different from every angle.

thanks guys!!
offset is +38mm -
rims were not cheap, about 650 for each one, pricey but no more than many nice high end rims I cross shopped (Volks, etc).
These appealed to me cause they offered lighter weight, style, and TPMS ability which in 18'' isn't so hard, but the choices slim down as many of you know when you go to 19''. These in 19'' have all the above, and weigh under 20lbs, saving me a few pounds of unsprung weight.
As for the tire, I'm happy with 245s. Has the sharp response of OEM, about 2lbs lighter (for ps2s) than 255s, which is the only other tire that keeps my speedo under 1 perecent. I'll take the looks and weight savings over more beef at extreme limits which I'll rarely feel due to 90 percent street driving.
Oh and the PS2s rock. Amazing tire worth every penny..

AWESOME......but you knew I'd say that.
The color is almost a perfect match. I love the understated look of these rims. They just jump out at you but not in the Bling kind of way.
I'm extremely happy that you finally got them on and they turned out like they did.

I'm not much of a rim guy since I think the car comes with a perfectly good pair already but I'd have to say these look really nice. Classy, great details, and very clean. Not bling but very sophisticated.
