Advan TC4

The Advan TC-4 is a 5 spoke flow formed wheel from the Yokohama brand. Giving us a deep concave 5 spoke layout with a ton of brake clearance. We consider this to be the more affordable alternative to the Advan GT and GT Beyond. Available in popular sizes and bolt patterns for most Japanese cars with diameters dropping down into the 15" realm to support cars like the Mazda Miata.

Expert Opinion

In our professional opinion these wheels are so freaking similar it's truly hard to compare them. In this case it really does come down the the slight difference in cost, overall weight, and of course, your personal preference. The TC-4 features a bit more design elements when it comes to the side milling of the spokes, however it's hard to beat the amount of crazy finishes that Gram Lights has with the 57CR.
