Question Advan RS Question ???

Hi there all,
So I was thinking about re-doing my Advan RS's wheels plus changing the color to match my new paint job.
I ran into few issues I couldn't find the RS sticker for the wheels anywhere on the web.
anyone knows any vendor that can source them for me ???
one more think the center caps.
200$ for a glue on center caps seriously !!!!
I'm not a cheep *** person but putting this much money on something that wouldn't do me any good,
This is some how stupid don't you guys think so????
I need your feedback so I know what to do whit what I have.
my wheels color is gold and the paint job is lambo orange here are few pics of the car:

dark gun metal is the choice of color. If there is any color you guys think it's much better let me know.



I'm kind of lost when it comes to color choice.

Thanks,

I have a set of gunmetal RS currently and wanting to change the color to black chrome. I agree, $200 for centercaps is ridiculous.

what did you do about the decals on the rims I couldn't seem to find them anywhere ???
black chrome is the color of the RS-D if I'm not mistaken.
I like ur choice, but chrome and I never really go together.
there kinda hard to mach using paint since they as 3"X1" I guess.
I would like to keep it as original as possible.
CENTER CAPS:
sometime I just want to go replicas "if there is any"
but I know I will dislike them down the road and buy the originals.
btw can you post so pics of ur z so I can at least tell how it would look.

You should be able to make those w/ a good local printer, camera, and photoshop.

I think you should go with a semi-gloss to gloss black. I would leave the machining though.

the dark gunmetal you chose will look great since it matches your cf body pieces. i think the advans look fine w/o center caps and have you contacted advan directly? cause i have work rims and when i got them powdercoated i contacted their Cali office for stickers and they sent me the ones i needed.

Mmmmm... good point but have you ever concerned the labor doing this, mismatch error X4, plus sticker would be much cheeper.
semi-gloss black ......... too dark don't you think ???
