Got My Wheels Installed:)

///V\3Dude · 07-28-2010, 10:12 PM

My wheels came in last week and finally got them installed

Pictures are off a cell phone and are quite shabby.

They are Avant Garde M310-
[Front Wheel Options:19x9.5 ET22]
[Rear Wheel Options:19x11 ET33]

There's a decent scrape on my front bumper pulling into a buddies drive way

Some pics to show you guys the difference, hopefully you can tell. I did the install with a friend and I. Then had a mechanic go over our work so far so good

Last picture is my favorite!!

Right now I'm on stock height with no rubbing, the tires are Continental ExtremeContact Summer or DW. 245/35/19f 285/30/19r
No rubbing, and I just ordered RD sport springs, which I'm
Sure still shouldn't have any rubbing unless there's fat chicks in the back.

They are matte black. But I cleaned them with some kind of wheel wax and makes them a tad shiny. They have them
In matte black and hyper silver for this style.

Really nice

Dengel · 07-29-2010, 10:28 AM

Looks good. Now get rid of those chrome side gills.

Dont stress about your front bumper, hearing that scrape will make you cringe, but it happens..

Nice, how are they working out so far? Any vibe issues since installation? Looking to get new wheels myself.

///V\3Dude · 07-29-2010, 01:53 PM

Avant Garde specially made these wheels for the m3 I believe. I installed them myself and everything went on perfect. No need of hubcentric ring needed. The ride feels stock but stiff due to the thinner sidewalk. No vibration. Took car up to 130 and no vibration throughout the range.

All your missing now is the HRE center cap.

dardeca · 07-29-2010, 02:05 PM

I'm not a huge fan of black wheels...but those look pretty good!

I never said he did. Just wheel brands such as these give wheel brands such as HRE a bad name. I think his car look awesome and I haven't said otherwise I just never understood how wheel company's are allowed to make EXACT replicas.
