The Rarest Yokohamas Of All

v1p3r · 25th February 2009, 05:50

How many of you guys know that Yokohama also makes alloy wheels? In very limited quantities, and only for Japanese cars, in Japan. These wheels are advertised in most JDM magazines, and command a huge premium in the West. A 17" wheel sells for around 450 USD, or 22.5k, and that's per wheel!

This is probably the only set in India. The finish has to be seen to be believed, and they are very very light.

Really nice looking alloys. From the picture the finish looks great, I am sure in metal the finish would be much better.

I for one, did not know that Yokohama was into Alloys as well.

Wow.. Whats so special? The name?

By how much will these alloys reduce the 0-100 run in seconds over other wheels?

Advan wheels are definitely hot property! I wish to have a set in my car one day to complete the already existing advan spor tires

More of a branding exercise for either Yokohama or Advan? I'm pretty sure Yokohama doesn't build these inhouse. More like a branded outsourced effort? Or do they?

Please put up pics once installed on whichever car!

A lot of Advan rims, along with Enkei, OZ, Konig, Enkei are manufactured by a company called YHI International in Singapore.

Wasn't a Supra somewhere in India (Mumbai/Bangalore?) running a set of 3-spoke ADVAN rims?
