Advan TCII? RCII?

What are the major differences in these two series of wheels? Weight differences? Merely cosmetic? I'm just wondering why the TCII's are nearly 100 bucks more per rim when they are basicly just a 5 spoke design. Anyone have any pictures of the RCII's or TCII's in Bronze? I can't tell from the limited amount of info on the wheels what color is what.

Also any of you vendors wanna shoot me a price on some 18*8.5's on both sets of rim's shipped to 78681?

I'm looking to buy very soon as I need new rubber and figured...might as well upgrade while I'm at it =)

Also, I'm considering lowering the car with some Tein Hi Tech springs and wanted to fill the wheel gap up some. Any problems foreseeable wih my setup?

What color/size are these rim's btw? RCII's I presume and Bronze? 18*9.5's? They seem to be fairly wide ?

These rims here are RCII's in GOLD, broze is much darker. Yeah, this guy is pushin about 9 inches on the car and the main difference between TCII's and RCII's is cosmetic. IMO, I like RCII's much more, they just need centercaps. Also, I'm sure the RCII's are lighter, not to mention how good they look on rally cars like the evo and wrx/sti.

ok here goes,

the main differences between the two is cosmetic and weight. the new TCII uses a hallow spoke design which makes the rim much lighter. the RCII are very good quality but they are not as light as some of the new rims or even the old volks. However, both wheels will be an improvment over stock as far as weight goes so i think that you should really get the one you like. also, don't forget that the difference in price is quite large between the two and with the money you save you can buy new rubber.

let me know if you need any help finding them and i will be able to help you out.

thanks

Both wheels are nice BUT no Bronze for the TCII. Expect more wheel choices from Yokohama soon.

18x9.5, +35 offset. He may have played around with the fender... it looks like it would rub.
