davido,

i ordered my advan kreuzer series 5 rims 18x7.5 (silver metallic)with a 50mm offset thru my local import speedshop. took 6months and almost $700 per rim. i paid a bit more then usual but it's well worth it to me. i'm thinking 17x7.0 model 6 rims will go for atleast $400 to $500 per rim. so your looking at some expensive rims and a waiting period of 2 to 3 months maybe even 6 months. the colors i believe (i can't find the advan wheel brochure i have) model 6s come in are silver and gold with the biggest offset of 45mm for 18x7.5 rims. i'm really not for sure tho.

ntr100,

i have 18x7.5 rims with 215/40 series yokohama paradas with no rubbing. i'm lowered 2.0ins (front) and 1.75 (rear) on skunk2coilovers and tokico blues. i did have minor alignment problems but were solved with a 45min simple alignment correction done at les schwaub for $70. the technician at les schwaub did mention that for some reason, lowered preludes do not have major alignments problems as much as the other hondas and imports. a camber kit would cost you maybe $300 not including labor.

if you decide to go with advans, you can get 18s without having the added wheel weight that usually comes with other 18in rims. the advan kreuzers at 18x7.5 weight at only 17lbs. and at 17x7.0 come in at 15lbs.

$1300 for advan rims with tires could be possible but does not sound real. maybe the rims and tires were used or he truely got himself a home-boy discount. 35series tires are to thin for me. especially when your rolling on advan rims. i would recommend atleast a 40series tire to give the lip of the rim added protection.
