Ok here's a fresh serious one.
^^ refinish? or just a car wash.?
Neither. Just a new pic from today.
Looking sharp. Your car rocks those black 5's!
It's a dark gunmetal powder coat.
This pic is probably somewhere in this thread already but it shows the color better.
These wheels still put a stupid grin on my face when I look at them.
My wheel re-finisher sent me these photos from his i phone. I am picking them up on Monday.
Gotta love the 5's on a silver car. Amazing!
I picked my wheels up today. I love the finish. Here are a couple of photos in different light. The one is on my 300zx which is under the knife getting a widebody. Now I just need to wait for my tires to arrive.

here are more pics of the wheels on the car. 17x8+30 215/40-17 and 18x10+19 255/35-18. By the way, I am up in the air about letting these go
I think I need to lower the car more. This is a big change from my XD-9s as I liked the black. I am experiencing some cognitive dissonance but I am sure these will wear off on me. 17x8+30 with 215/40(they do rub on bumps) and 18x9 +20 255/35.(I do not know how people get an 18x10+19 to fit as these are quite flush)
Couple more because Spring is so awesome in Canada
LOL- what spring?
I am liking that stance and those wheels

I spent a few "Springs" in Northern Alberta ... brings back memories. Although, I have to say I am jealous of some of the rural roads you have to play on!
lol those wheels look amazing even in snow.

After a long search I finally have my Advan 5 wheels. Thanks to Chris for selling me a set. I ended up getting them powder coated bright silver and lowered the car using KW V3's. Today I spent 3 hours playing with various spacers to get them the way I wanted. I looked at pictures on this thread to help, so thanks to everyone!
Here's where I landed:
Front wheels are 17x7 +40mm with 15mm spacers
Rear wheels are 18X9 +40mm with 15mm spacers ( I tried 20 and 25's)
KW V3's all around
Powder coating: Wheel Techniques in Santa Clara - Color: OEM Silver
All I can say is this is the best my NSX has ever looked. Thanks again to all the Advan 5 posts!

Since getting mine refinished I like them alot. Although there is something about model 5's that the general public do not realize and that is that they are not OEM. They sure look like they should have come factory even though they are aftermarket.
I getting tired of seeing these Advans AVS Model 5's :tongue:
