The rims on the GT-R's at the Tokyo Auto Salon that sported what seemed to be 20" AVS Model T7 is actually a new mold-forged version called Model F7... whereas most of the upper-end Yokohama lines are M.A.T. (spun cast). I personally would love to have the Advan TC-II/RGII/RS mold-forged also. I wonder if Enkei is still manufacturing these mold-formed rims.

Apparently, the spokes are thinner than the already thin T7's. Interesting.

Looks like a great tuner wheel for ballers. Looks nice on the GT-R, but doesn't really fit the M3, LS, or CLS in those pics.

 

These are made by Rays

 

And people didn't believe me when I said RAYS will be manufacturing some of the wheels from the Yokohama line.

 

I thought RAYS only made Volk.

 

RAYS makes NISMO, VOLK, Prodrive and now some ADVANS.

looks like my old model 7. i guess the design is timeless.

 

Looks yummy!

 

... and one of them would have been me ...

Also comes in platinum black:


So many good options now

 

Sweet. I remember reading when Andy posted that and was wondering when these would finally come out. Just too bad no 19x10 available.

Maybe the RG's that are getting due for a refresh will be next to go Forged. I assume the new RZ's (Advan update your website!!!) are M.A.T.?

 

Also the newer Ro_Jas, Gram Lights, G-Games, TRD, Ralliart, and others.

 

Yeah... I forgot those.

ADVAN RS wheels are now available in Porsche fitments. HOT!

 

^Looks good. Those Advans on the GT3 remind me of Kinesis F110s without a lip.

 

Yeah... I agree about the Kenisis wheels.
