    I don't support reps and I rocked the hell out of these on my TSX. You will have to call a discount tire to order the 18x9.5's though, as they have stopped making them. So cross your fingers that there are still some sets lying around.
    Thanks for the solid info. Well my friend is an assistant manager at a Discount, so hopefully he can hook it up.

    AVS T7/F7. Not everything made by Yokohama is an Advan. I used to make that mistake a lot too though, Advan comes out easier.

    Those are dope but unless you get the 9.5, I'm guessing you don't have much concavity. And with the 9.5's, the offsets are super low.

    MB Battles are actually a rep of the CST Hyper Zero 1 wheel.

    The CST are alot lighter than the MB I have had both and the dif is there. I would say they are a CST rep if anything.

    They are alot like the Advan but when you improve on a design greatly I would no longer call it a rep.

    My 2 cents

    Ahhhh. The Advans, that's where I've seen them before. Of course. That's why I love them so much.

    From this image they look very similar, just the Motegi's are less Concave. I have also heard them compared to Work XT7's and XD9's.

    The Advan did come first though.

    I think the ADVAN Model T7 are the original design or the cst zero but they just concave less compared to these mb's.

    The spokes are a lot thinner. But I see how they could be a rep of that.

    Sweeeet. I think these may be the wheels I want then. I've got to go budget baller, so unless something pops up on craigslist for cheap then I'm guessing these are gonna be the ones.
