Does Anyone Have Avant Garde or TSW Nurburgring Rims?

I'm looking for some rims similar to these HRE but more affordable.



I found the TSW Nurburgring and Avant Garde wheels. Anyone run these on an E55? I noticed that the Avant Gardes don't have that aggressive offsets for the rears so you have to use a 10mm spacer.

Those look awesome, a few people run Forgestar F14s and the design is pretty much the same.

The TSW Nurburgring are pretty darn light and priced right, a hard to beat combo, if you like them go for it.

A few weeks back there was a craigslist ad that ran for awhile that was selling those avantegarde wheels with tires in 19". They were on an W211 55 & looked good. I just wasn't familiar with the name. Reminded me of the Forgestar when I first glanced.

Looked at these wheels a few years back at a local buttler tire and was told they could make a more aggressive offset if I wanted and the weight isn't much higher than forgestars. Check on that and if not as mentioned, F14s are a good buy too.

I message a few venders about the avant garde and was told they won't fit Mercedes. Is it because of the bolt pattern? I haven't received a second reply get.

I like the tsw but they don't seem to be as concave in the middle as the avant garde and HRE.

The Nurburgring's and the interlagos' from TSW will fit, even in 18's. I got this straight from TSW. Their Mandrus line also has a few that will fit in 18's like the millenium and wilhelm.

The more I look at the Nurburgring's the more i like them. Especially for the price.

I'm interested in 19s. Theres something about the HRE and Avant Garde thats missing in the TSW. I think the TSW are not as concave as the others. If you look at the pic of the rear wheel of the Porsche above, you can see their is a bit of concavity. But on the TSW, the spokes are completely flat 90% of the way down, then in the middle they concave inward.

Yeah I noticed that too about the TSW. Better to go with F14 or m310.

Yah. I know HRE does make a flat spoke style like the TSW, abut the one I like is the concave style one.

I like the forgestar F14, but it seems like they make flat ones and concave ones too? Or do their wider rims (for the rears) jut come standards more concave.

Edit:

Seems like you can choose for the F14

Concave makes it look more aggressive imo
