Title: Any idea what these wheels are ?
Post by: craigr on February 05, 2004, 01:06:07 PM
Anyone recognise these wheels ? I think they\'re AVS something or others.

Sweet looking - no wonder he\'s so damn happy...

The wheels are definatly Yokohama AVS Model 5.

Dare wheels are a UK company, so its not like that car in Japan is going to use a Dare wheel.  It just so happens that Dare make a wheel which is a Yokohama AVS Model 5 rip off (I assume the AVS 5 came first).  Cheap wheel manufacturers do this loads now, eg wolfrace making an R34 style wheel.  Cant blame them because it is a stunning wheel.

Edited, so as to not sound like a tosser...

Sorry Gary thought you were saying yours were Dare\'s.

Yoko AVS 5

Dare V2

Anyway, as you can see both are similar but being as that car is in Japan is bound to be the AVS.  If I was given the choice, im afraid Id be a badge snob if possible!  Probably cost a fortune for the AVS however.

Either way, nice wheels!
shame they make replicas because you normally find them wheels on nova\'s and saxo\'s now!
Glad i bought the cheaper ones n e how cos i sold the car one week after buying them!
i\'m really good at spending a small fortune on a car and selling it straight away!:)
