This ADVAN Racing RS was reproduced as a 10-spoke wheel based on the concept of motor sports or tuning use.
Large diameter spoke designs continue to project an image of vigor, in this case, with the first over-flange spokes in this brand lineup. The twin flange design shows the spokes extending over the flange, each one narrow for a very tight look. The center circle is designed as small as possible, which contributes to the extended length of the spokes. The spokes themselves are slim, and their edges have only the slightest rounding, which contributes to the keen, sharp image. Of course, the spokes curve sinuously down toward the center in this RS version, too, and give the wheel an overall sense of aggressive action. The swoop down toward the center has two types, the same as the RGII. The only difference is in the degree of dip, ensuring a common image.
And like the RGII, the ADVAN Racing logo shows on the rim between the spokes. The logotype is more than 1mm thick, cast into the rim and finished with a three-dimensional cutting machine, so the painted portion contrasts clearly with the background (except for bright chrome models).
The 10-spoke RS boasts a large logo, differentiating ADVAN and Racing, because the space between spokes is narrower than on the RGII. The thermal RS logo decal is printed on the outer surface of the spokes, adding a bolder accent to the RS, which has a sharp image.
Adoption of the rim flow forming process adds stiffness and rigidity while making the rim even thinner. That, in combination with the 10-spoke form that’s as strong as a full disc, ensures light weight, the same as the RGII. |
