I've been wanting wheels for a long time but I could never find a set I truly loved. There were SO many great choices but the more I looked, the more I found myself going back towards to this style wheel.
Well, after much deliberation I pulled the trigger on a pair of Advan Model T5's in Shine Silver.
Here are the specs:
Front: 19x8.5 + 38 on Toyo T1R's 245/35
Rear: 19x10 +42 on Toyo T1R's 275/30
(you WILL need to roll / shave your fenders to get these to fit)
These wheels ARE compatible with TPMS sensors. No blinking light for ME!![Rock](https://www.rx8club.com/images/smilies/rock.gif)
Picking up the wheels. I was like a kid on Christmas morning... (crappy cell phone pic)

Anyone figured out what this says???

Freshly made wheels. (Note the date...)

About to get mounted on the car The fronts look so small compared to the rear wheels.

Hope you guys like them, so far I'm LOVING the new wheels! The rear 19x10's give the car such an agreesive look!![Rock](https://www.rx8club.com/images/smilies/rock.gif)
Special Thanks to the Following:
- FE3P: To the guy who had one of THE sexiest RX-8's ever! Thanks bro, I wouldn't have been able to get these wheels without you.
- NgoRX8: Thanks for all your help bro, you've been hearing me talk about these wheels for years now and now I'll shut up and just enjoy them.![Smilie](https://www.rx8club.com/images/smilies/smile.gif)
- Alex from SP-Engineering, THANK YOU! www.sp-power.com
Alex was the guy responsible for ordering these wheels for me. As with most Japanese made wheels, I was quoted the usual 3-4 months to get them but Alex had them ordered, shipped, and delivered in only about 5 weeks!
I cannot speak highly enough about this guy, his AMAZING shop, or his level of professionalism. Alex was a pleasure to work with and now has a customer for life. Anyone in SoCal who needs wheels need not look anywhere else.
