Where to buy Advan Rims

[aviator79]

So I called GRUPPE-S and they gave me a high qoute (and im a returning customer) and said it would take 10 something weeks to get them.
Called wheel wharehouse and they gave me a much better price, but still 60-90 days.
I called vivid racing and got about the same quote as wheel warehouse and they also had to order them so 60-90 days.
Anyone know where else I could try? I dont think Im going to find what im looking for as everyone has to go through Mackin Industries...but figured Id ask.

More than likely you will have to wait at least 60 days whoever you get them from. The only way you would be able to get them now is if you find someone selling them or if you happen to catch a company that happens to have a few sets left..

I'm about 6 week out from my purchase through grouppe-s, I searched the net for a month to see if anyone was selling a set couldn't find anything, Lexus, BMW, Subbies, Mini Cooper's, Audi and EVO.

FUCK GROUPPE-S
I was going to buy from them again even after the BS I had to deal with last time. Quick sum up of story:
Ordered 57F from them told them I wanted them gunmnetal like the advan RS gunmetal, they send me grey/green rims 4 months later. SO im pissed and get them to send me lables to ship them back and tell them again I want ADVAN gunbetla color. They send me basically black really dark 'gunmetal' rims that have divits in them and are blotchy, but whatever its been 6 months at this point and summer is almost over and Ive already curbed my car because I was driving on my winter tires still. And the car is still fucked up from that BTW so Ive got to get it abck to the autobody again. So I put them on, but the lugs they sent me dont fit so I do the whole run around again and finally get new lugs, but guess what those dont fit either.
Again me being an idiot was thinking of still being a costomer to them so I went to get a quote on my rims and they quote me $2450 or something plus shipping. Im like well im a returning customer and he basically says 'So what"
So Im trying to find these in stock somewhere else as it was going to be 60-90 days, but no luck.
So moral of the story is contact kevin@drivelinestore.com as he seems to be able to get the best prices.

Please tell me you are trying for 9.5s.....?

I know you and I had gone back and forth a couple times around the Rota GB that was a major flop and then around the Gruppe-S thing too... I'd believe you if you told me.

[FICHSTIX]

Sorry to hear I sure hope I don't have any problem

9.5 ??

I can't even imagine, your a braver man than I am.

Advan RS 18x10 et 35 gunmetal GTR FACE

I will need to gain .6+ on my fneders which I will do, plus with the SBC ball joints and some aggresive alignment work I will still be able to get the fronts and rears to tuck. It will take a lot of work but with a roller and a hydraulic pusher as well, but I should have no problem getting another inch as I am actually flaring or pulling the fenders at this point. The pusher should allow me to push out the weld points a bit so that where the plastic bumpers join the fenders will go out as well. Those that have rolled may understand what I am talking about. Fronts have never even been rolled yet also. Call me crazy, but look here:

Shows how with the tire being the same width as the rim and only .4" wider (10mm) than the 245 it is not as extreem as it sounds. The tire just wont bulge out at all so watch those curbs!

wow.... that is AWESOME!

Definitely keep us posted on how that works out. I'd love to go to something a little wider than the 8.5/+45. 9.5 and +35 will definitely give us plenty more options.

Well i am doig something similar, but I thought I was crazy for going 19x8.5...good luck with the 9's. It will look great if it works.
Got mine form vivid, I have had nothing but great experiences with them.
Now it's just a waiting game
