Advan Racing Wheels are they genuine?
« on: August 02, 2015, 04:39:15 pm »
I bought these about 15 month ago and paid a fair amount for them. Whilst browsing the web I came across a few threads mainly on the Evo forums that there are Advan replicas available. Do any of you guys have any knowledge on the Advan brand I know they are mainly for Japanese market hoping some people may of had evo's, scoobys and come across this brand. I have had a little search and from what I can find they are genuine. They will be up for sale soon and don't want to sell them as genuine if there not.
There Are quiet a few engraved markings inside and out wheel
Few pics of inner and outer wheel.











ADRZF is engraved on one spoke so I presume they are ZF model
Any help appreciated
Weight is 18kg with brand new goodyear assy 2 mounted not sure what these tyres weigh

I have no idea but generally made in Japan for a Japanese wheel is a good start...

Google the model numbers, verify the widths and offsets available. if all match up then it's probably a genuine one.  :happy2:

Everything checks out on the Advan website so all looks well. You know what forums are like you often read to much into stuff. If anyone interested they will be up for sale in about a months time

Their weight could also be an indication of genuine or copies. Genuine ones are pretty light aren't they?

With tyre it's 18kg think tyre is about 25/26lbs 10-11kg so obviously that makes wheels 7-8kg which is bloody light

At that weight they will be genuine. I've found that reps tend to weigh in at least a good 2+kg more than genuine.

Yeh that's them by the looks of it, look great on that mk5 with some fat calipers behind them.
