Hey guys, I'm looking into getting a new set of Wheels for my Raven FR-S. Trying to decide between the Advanti Racing HYDRA Matte Black or the Advanti Racing HYDRA Titanium...

19" or 18"? I'm leaning for the 18"...

Thank guys!

Do these even come in 17? Because I'm trying to find stuff about them but I can't find their weight or a size 17 wheel..

Regarding the 17 vs 18 argument, if you are concerned about performance 17 would be the direction you would want to go, otherwise if you don't really care you'd just go 18.

This is the general consensus from my understanding, there are factors that would make an 18" wheel more appealing.

And personally I would go with the Matte Black, not a fan of the chrome look.

too much bling on raven with chrome in my opinion. personally im a fan of black on black or black with bronze/dark gold. also 17 would be ideal but since they dont make it go for 18

I like the titanium version better. The two tone wheel will have the black fade over time. I'd get 18's over 19s.

Depending on the weight of a wheel, the tire put on it, and the drivers usage; the difference between 17 and 18 is negligible.

Are Enkei wheels available in your country? I would suggest Enkei because in most cases the build/production quality and materials will be better.

titanium...I was looking at some advanti DST wheels too( cheaper than enkei and just as light), but went rota instead.

Where did you find the weights? I only found one place that said these specific wheels are 22 lbs, which is definitely not light, or comparable to Enkei's meant for performance/racing.

i was looking in tire rack, but at other styles...Storm and Svelto.
