Once again we are back to this quartet. If you’ve been visiting this site a long time, you will know that I am obsessed with the original Advan 3-piece series of wheels. Having owned all four, I am quite familiar with all of them. Oddly though, instead of satisfying my […]

Advan Three-Piece Series

JMW AD-SCX an unique looking wheel that is definitely a rare find. Calling this pair rough would be generous. The old caps are well rusted through, lips oxidized and faces chipped. Even still a worthy share! Sizes in a common 14x6J 4H/114.3 +10 and with a 16,800 yen price tag I […]

My post last week titled Advan Alphabet, was no coincidence. I.E. It had been sitting in my Draft’s folder for almost two years. For whatever reason, I never published it… until I found these on yahoo and was reminded. You see… the A3B really is a thing of legend to […]

I’m crazy about showa era Advan wheels, but I’m not really sure why. Certainly the Carrot Flashpoint Trueno driven by Keichi in the late eighties is a part of why, but more than that Advans have a long history in Japanese racing that dates back to the early seventies. That’s […]
