My avantgarde (PICS)

Think its about time I do some contribution
its an avantgarde without AMG sport kit, the rare bunch in this forum where most people here have AMG sports kit from stock
dont have fancy mods or anything...
opinions and criticisms are welcomed
camera's AF is some how retarded .. and I couldn't get a good shot with millions of mosquitoes trying to bite me in the afternoon D: .. so if your eye hurts im sorry, i will try spray repellents and use tripods next time

they are VMR v710s
i initially was aiming for HRE monoblock P40 but then its' flat surface no concaveness turned me off then I found avantgarde M328s but the shop i went to said they ran out of gay offsets for my front and i have to wait another 2 weeks for them to order
then i saw these wheels and i didnt want to keep the cash any longer so i decided to toss them away for these
its how i wanted it, strong thick mesh like the HRE P40 with aggressive concaveness combined

How did you get the VMR's to fit? I was told that the center cap wouldn't fit over the hub when I called VMR

Yeah machining is normal because of the bore size but I'm talking about the center cap fitting over the hub. I see you have center caps in...so they had no problem fitting? They told me that it would be 1 centimeter taller than the center cap so I could run the wheels but I couldn't have a center cap.
