Yep, the Advan RGIIs do look very nice...
We each have our own criteria - I definitely wanted 5 spokes to match the 5 studs (It's an obsessive/compulsive thing, I can only just cope with the 5 spoke wheels on my NB -
the kind of thing I look at when waiting at the lights...) :roll:
weight for same size is also 1.5 lb heavier per rim than Rays 57F

If you can find the latest copy of HyperRev that features the MX5, there is a whole section that features Wheel/Rim combos for the NC (about 10 pages worth I think)...

I would scan these pages for you but I dont have a scanner :?
