my new wheels

been umming and ahhing for a while now on changing my wheels, originally wanted some MEC extremes with the deep dish, but that is to similiar to my current monachs.



I had a lot of nice comments on them at trax, thanks,
After taking a look around i wanted some vossen cv2's but they are expensive and look to be a bugger to clean.

After talking to the nice people at Projex, they recommended som Avante Garde M series wheels that have just come out.

After a 2 hour drive down and a comparison between the 10 spoke and the 5 spoke, I went with these

enjoy


















Having cleaned them today, they are pretty easy, and don't look as dark in real life...

20 inch 8j on the front and 20 inch 10j on the rear, same as the monarchs, which i still have...

thanks tyres are front 245x30x20 and rears are 275x30x20, yokahamas all round
both front and rear are fitted with 12 mm spacers,
Think the offset is 35 front and rear. but not exactly sure on that.

The diffuser is eurotek, fits well and genuine C/F..

Hi bramage, it was after seeing your avante garde wheels that i took a personal look at these. they really look better in person, nice dish. I looked at the brushed silver ones but the bgrey contrasted well with the car and picks up the bits of carbon already on the car.
Thanks for the inspiration

Ok, i looked at the pictures on my cell, and they do look sick!

The contrast is excellent, and the fit looks great!!!


AVANT GARDE


I like the wheels they have come out with. You are probably the first person on that set. I know in talking with the guys at AG, these just came out.

Looks good. Off to the internet I go to find these in silver. BTW, which model is this because AG doesn't list/show this wheel on their site.

Nice wheels, but why did you go with a taller tire in the rear, yet stayed the factory height in the front?
