    I work with Japanese aftermarket parts every day and occasionally we see something for an application out of what we would consider the norm. These Yokohama wheels definitely fall into that category. They seem to totally change the look of the car to one that is very classy and, well, more Japanese. I quite like it, what do you think?

    I think they look good on the car. Are they really on that car or is it photoshop?

    Looks good. I'm all for it. I wish they had more applications for Fcars.

    Nice to see all the compliments! They are really on the car. The car below is actually the same and it is a real picture as well. I wish I could find some more hi-res images but the images in the physical catalog are very clear and definitely real. I just found out these wheels are a really good price for forged monoblocks.

    Can't get much more rotor under that wheel. Looks like a CCB package. The silver rotor hat is more prominent in that picture. If you look quickly it appears the hat is the rotor, but look more closely and you can see the larger CCB rotor. Also note the caliper position relative to the wheel.

    BBS forged and multi-piece wheels are actually Japanese made under contract.

    Just IMHO, those wheels look "ok" at best (first post), but would look better on an NSX. I would pass on the second set.

    I still have not found a set of aftermarket wheels that look as good as the Nov's. Factory-wise, the BBS forged CH wheels ex-F430 Scud for me.

    (Though I have a soft spot for OEM 18s off of the F512m and 575M as well)

    Nothing that screams to me, but they do give a very clean look to the car

    very true on BBS. Some of the best forging comes from Japan.
    The 1st wheels look similar to Neez Wheels which are my favorites...

    I personally feel like the second set of wheels would look really good on a 430. I feel that they look like a more finished design than the relatively similar Enzo OEM pieces. I also feel that the first rims make the car look like a stylish street car where the BBS wheels seem to make the car look like an incomplete 360GT or 430GT. All great rims with terrific quality and there is truly some amazing hardware that comes out of Japan. Prodrive is another name that comes to mind.

    Very much liking the first set. I think they'll look great on a 550, especially in 19x9.5 up front and 19x13 in the rear!

    I believe they are Advan Wheels. Made by Yokahama.

    yeah. I considered getting those advans for my yellow 360 but didn't I currently have HRE's, but they are heavy. i really want 19" Volk TE37s in bronze. Mostly because I think everyone else would hate them on a yellow 360. I personally really like yellow and bronze together. But they don't make the Volks in a wide enough rear 19". I'd have to cut and widen them. Which If I had a reliable source for I might do...

    They are not that bad.

    The only Japanese wheel I really liked on a 360 was the VolK TE37, gave it a very "JDM" type of look.

    The Advan wheels look very nice, like Novitec's NF2 version of the Enzo wheels. Any sources?
