Don't think there are any Advan dealer in Melb. So you might either have to look interstate or in Japan.

I was told that "Super Advan Racing" style wheels are no longer in production last year. As my friend had the same style for his RX7.

man i am in deep trouble.

this woman driver did not check her blind spot and hit my car on the back right hand side damaging my side skirts, door, quarter panel and the wheel. now her insureance company is paying for it. now since my wheel is damaged and it impossible to get a replacement i want to know where i stand on this. i mean will i get compensation for this and if so how much money will they give to me or will they import one from japan?

man i'm afraid that they might pay me 500 dollars the amount for how much my wheel is insured for. but then again it was not my fault and so i think i should be receiving money to import one from japan.

Well your repairer should tell the insurance company that those wheels are no longer available, therefore they have to pay for a new set which should be equivalent value to your original set of Advan.

I would get a quote for replacing the rim from japan from a reputable repair shop and if the insurance company complains get a quotation for a new set altogether and let them choose what route they want to take.
