If you like the ADVAN Neova you could have got a set of Dunlop SP Sport Maxx instead in 255/35/18. Similar on dry, better on wet, longer lasting and quieter.
As far as the wheels go aren't they just looking for a curb to hit with those arching spokes? How wide are they?
I like the Team Dynamics wheels better which also come in 18x9 multi-spoke design. http://www.engintecs.com/gallery2/ma...g2_itemId=1649

I did look at the Dunlop tires, but I preferred the Pilot Sports. I still wish ADVAN released the Neova in my size.

Wheels are 18x9.

I rarely, if ever, have to watch out for curbs as this is not my daily driver and I drive/park with extreme caution. Team Dynamics are nice, but I absolutely adore the concave look of the ADVAN's. Just personal preference. I stand by my choice of wheels and parts, bar none.

As for tires, i'm running on Michelin Pilot Sport PS2's in 255/35/18. They're fantastic, but they're just not as tight as the stock ADVANs. I sure wish Yokohama manufactured the ADVAN Neova in 255/35/18... i'd be all over them in a heartbeat.
i was in the same boat looking for neova's 255/35/18 and i found them listed on yoko's website. Unfortunatly they are only a japan tire in this size..but if you could get them over here somehow...

they make the following Advan tires closest to what u want:

Advan Neova in a 255/40/18 (180 treadwear, stock tire is 160)
Advan A048 in 265/35/18 (60 treadwear)
Advan Sport in 255/35/18 (180 treadwear)-also OE tire on Bentley Continental GT, & Flying Spur

Well, they do but they're extremely rare. ADVAN doesn't typically promote center caps with their ADVAN Racing Line (e.g RGII, RS, etc.) I have a set on order, but unfortunately they won't be here for several months. I'll definitely post pics when they come in and get mounted.
