Has anyone seen these Avant Garde's in person?
 

I'm on the search for wheels and Im looking for some middle ground between function and form.

I'd get 18x8.5 and 18x9.5 they also customize the offset to your exact preference. I still have to figure out what I'd need. Maybe +40 & +35



You can get these for around a grand. They're cast/fake-3-piece OZ futuras reps but like I said, around a grand.

I like the look and the semi dished effect and they shouldn't weigh more than 25lb/wheel.

I'm just kind of curious if anyone's seen them in person and can tell me if they looked like garbage or not. Haven't found a whole lot of info on them.

Thanks in advance.

*Disclaimer* no one cares if they're not your flavor.

I saw a set of 17 oz's and they looked good. I just didn't like how the guy painted them teal. I wonder how they look without the center cap.

I am looking for a set that look like rega masters. AG wheels have decent coating/painting from what I have seen. I would buy in silver.

Good info, thank you :thumbsup:


And boy, do those wheels look good. I'd be way too scared to race on those lol.

Funny you mention teal though. I was kinda thinking about powder coating them some deep but brighter blue heh. White and light blue would be a good scheme I think.

i just received my set of m240 in 18x9 +30 and 18x9 +20

Well damn. Now I won't be the car in the directory ha.

How do you feel about them now that youve gotten them in front of you?

Whoever mounts them first! LOL

Can you take a pic without the center cover? and maybe the backside? You should weight it too!

Ah yes pls definitely weigh it. I had to call them yesterday and they couldn't tell me what they weigh.

He said given the offset there will be a change in the amount of material. Said it would be about 25 lbs.

at work right now but will definitely get pics of the wheels with no caps and the weight for you guys.

I wanted a set of OZ Futura but they broke the bank for me. I love the design of 5 star wheels(i'm old fashioned lol). I have a set of Nitto NeoGen 225/40/18 that will be coming in today so I should have the wheels mounted this weekend. I love the look of these wheels it gives off a late 80's to early 90's euro feel.

I definitely appreciate it. And so will so many other people who cant find the weight of these on other forums, haha.

Thats pretty much exactly where Im coming from on them too.

Are you going to powder coat them?

I would love to powered coat them white but I think the silver will go well with silver ignition. Just a heads up these wheels are back ordered so it will take 1.5 to 2months to be shipped out. I ordered my wheels on 5/8/2015 and received it 6/25/2015.

Oh god so if I order now I might get them by this winter?

no way! My buddy was JUST asking me about M240's and how he wants some this morning lol

those look good, but how are these wheels a middle ground between form AND function? these are show wheels...
