Advan RZ-F2 Wheels



Advan Wheels

Being Japanese, Yokohama believes that if a job is worth doing, it is worth doing properly. Which is why the company has produced some of the most advanced, most innovative tires ever put on a car.

Yokohama is also a pioneer in environmentalism. They have used oil from orange peelings to create tires. Thus, reducing waste and creating something that adds to the diminishing supply of natural resources.

Yokohama is also the largest supplier of racing tires in its home turf, supplying the JTCC, Super GT, and Super Taikyu with high-performance tires.

And because they make a superior rubber compound they have elected that the perfect wheels must also be of their own doing. Thus, Advan Wheels are born! 

Advan wheels are made by Yokohama Rubber Co. Ltd. who is well known throughout the world for their focus on quality and design. Yokohama created the Advan branch to develop innovative wheels that cater their brand and spearhead their vision of providing the best high-performance wheels on the road and track.

Wrought from advanced processing techniques like mold-form-forging, spin-forging, and flow-form-casting, Yokohama Advan wheels are some of the best wheels on the market when it comes to stiffness and weight. They also come in a plethora of beautiful designs. But these designs aren’t just made to look pretty, they are engineered to complement the performance of every car it is attached to.

Advan RZ-F2

The RZ-F2 is the first full-face design in the Advan Racing brand’s lineup of forged wheels. This large-diameter design, which is based on the RZ??????, uses advanced forging technology that brings weight reduction to a whole new level. Among the Advan Racing brand, the cast RZ?????? shares the limelight with the forged GT. The RZ??????’s sophisticated design, specific to casting method, is the basis for a brand new design called the RZ-F2.

But compared to RZII, the RZ-F2’s spokes are thinner and straighter, with four different faces available. The forged construction makes the RZ-F2 perfect for street or track use.

These wheels mark a departure from the deep rim design. For the first time in Advan Racing brand history, a forged wheel with a full-face design is adopted.

Although the forged Advan Racing GT 18-inch wheels and the RS-DF Progressive wheels both adopt barrel rims that will accommodate big rotors of more than 380 mm, these barrel rims are not adopted in the RZ-F2 design.

The designers wanted to use a reverse rim that will take maximum advantage of the wheel’s lightweight even if it meant giving up the accommodation of big rotors. The new Advan Racing RZ-F2 is a sports wheel that was developed to take this genre to new heights.
