Polished ADVAN RGII info
I wasnt sure if I should post this in Show & Shine or here but I am actually more interested in info than pretty pics so here goes...
I am very interested in these wheels but am having a lot of trouble finding information or even pics. I would like to know things like weight, price, and best place to buy. I wouldnt mind seeing some pics if people have them too though i want the GTR face (29mm offset) and size 18x9.
Here are the only pics I could find and this was months ago...
Thanks in advance for any info / thoughts on these wheels.

I got a set from Gruppe-S (non-GTR face) and installed these a couple weeks ago on my Rally Red IX. I'll post some pics up tomorrow.
Most Evo fans view anything "chrome-ish" as sacrilegious, but IMHO, these look fantastic. The SBC finish has a black reflection on the inside of the spokes and on the lip, which contrasts the silver/chrome on the outside of the spoke.
It definately has some "bling' to it, but not in an obnoxious way by any stretch of the imagination.
I've always liked the simplicity and clean look of the Advan RGII, and to me, this just dresses them up a bit; and also is unique at the same time for a wheel that is argueably overplayed.

I dont care what other EVO owners think. I love these rims. And the only reason chrome is always so lame is because the rims are heavy. These are just polished so they still weigh the same as silver or gold RGIIs. I would like to see this contrast you speak of as far as the black lip and inside of the spokes. I at first thought these wheels were all one solid polished color and then I thought the entire wheel was black chrome, but still one solid color. Is this true? I mean does the color change from chrome to black based on the lighting on the black chrome finish or is the wheel actually colored differently on the inside of the spokes and lip? I would think not but I dont know. I would really like to see these in person before I buy them anyway. I might have to take a drive to AMS....

PS: Anyone have a set of used ones for sale? I got a PM from someone that said they just sold a set of these cheap and I just missed out. I dont want that to happen again.

damn bro good luck getting this rims...they are i think 200 dollar more for each rim because its a special edition color for thoose rims so there are limited quantities. But from my experience go to speed element pm cal and say jt or jdmgraphitemr said you might have them. Trust me cal will hook you up and he probably can get them for you bro.

JDMGraphiteMR, you are the second person who told me to go there. The first was the kid who said he just sold a set and wouldve hooked me up. Just missed them. The price I posted was PMed to me by a vendor on here for brand new rims shipped and purchased by special order. I am in no huge hurry here, I just want to know everything I can about them so when I have the green I wont have any surprises when they arrive at the door.

I did search. Read my first post here where I said I have been searching for days. Also, Gruppe-S quoted me 2450 shipped. I like the price of 2100 better from another vendor on here. I am going to talk to Speed Element too.
