+48 offset, not exactly a flush fitment.

Offset by itself means absolutely nothing.
The wheels in question would be an inch more "flush" than stock.

And given that they only have 8 such wheels in stock, I'd guess that they've only made one batch of 5x100 wheels so far, hence one size/color. I expect they'll have a full selection soon enough.

Very popular with the Miata track/autocross crowd. I've seen Honda guys using them as well. They had some growing pains early on but I've heard no complaints about them in a long time now. I've never used them though so I can't offer more of an opinion than that.

The last time I spoke with them they were also heavy. I hope that changed but if they are cheap than I doubt it.

Yeah the Advan Model 5's are my all time favorites too but I can't seem to find them, was wondering if there are any others out there similar... Not a fan of the T5's because it lost the sharpness at the end of each spoke. Makes the rims look kinda bland to me.

If you know of a place I can get the Model 5's in 17 please let me know.

And if you're my friend and club members that know me they'll respect that and respect is much better than props.

Sorry, wish I could help. I've looked for them off and on over the years, never had any luck.
