I have herd that from 1 other person that went with the standard cast 1 piece wheels they sell. I have talked to people with the forged 3 piece wheels like I got and so far non have had any issues.

Yeah I was super careful putting them on the car. But on the last lug I rushed and chipped a small partt of the paint on the edge inside where the lugs go in.

Ha! Not to jack your nice wheel thread to talk about shoes, but I just got a big boy job in July and since then I've bought 3 Cole Haan Loafers, a pair of Coal Haan Oxford Wing Tips and I'm about to get some drivers.

I snapshotted that AG picture on IG because I thought it was your wheel, glad you saw it

Yup sure did see it. And yeah Cole Haan are great shoes. Idk if you only buy from the normal retail store but some outlet shop's have Cole Haan outlet store's that are same shoes just cheaper since they tend to be the prior model. But great prices I have one near me that I shop at.

I got my Oxfords from the outlet, and probably will get my drivers from there (I have an $80 card to there from returning another pair of shoes). I got my loafers (brown and black) on a ridiculous sale on their website during the holidays.

Found you on IG cause you commented on that picture.

Haha MyManDan obviously does not know the cost for fully custom 3 piece forged wheel from Avant Garde. And no I did not max out credit cards. I paid cash, I only have 1 credit card in my name and it's only for $500. I don't like debt. If you can't afford it don't buy it! That's how I look at things. These wheels retail for over 7k.

Had my buddy do a foam wash, clay bar, remove a few scratches and swirle marks from the car and a full paint correction. Finished it off with with a nice cquartz wax and polish. Looks better then fresh off the show room floor now. dudeitsmattx's built thread!-image_zpspqo1aepa.jpg
