Torn between two beauties, HELP

E90PAT · 04-02-2012, 04:31 PM

Im stuck between two very good looking wheels: Avante garde m359 ZCP reps and Alufelgen SF-71 Black diamond cut. Both are very similair in price, both have a decent name behind them.

Avante garde m359 ZCP reps

•Oem design
•Agressive
•doesnt turn as many heads
•pretty concave

Alufelgen SF-71 Black diamond cut

•Unique styling
•good looking finish
•can be picked up localy
•Not as concave

Luckily enough, most of the pictures are on Alpine white E90 like mine. I have LCI rear and soon picking up an mtec bumper as in the pictures.

Opinions, critisism, experince, anything is welcomed.

Those both look great, I do like the avant gardes a little bit better though. To each his own i'm sure you will be happy with whatever ones you choose.

E90SoFlo · 04-02-2012, 04:49 PM

Alufelgen because they're local and if you have any problems you can take them to the company.

They're both awesome looking wheels.

Both wheels are great choices and it's totally up to you as to which design you like best. I personally do like the AG M359 design a bit more as it does feature a more concave design with a more aggressive fitment/look!

F80M · 04-03-2012, 12:33 AM

omfg...cant even decide which one because those cls rep wheels are so damn boring...

I think anything at this point looks more exciting than my 162s

Can't go wrong with these, picturs just don't do them justice

Alen E90 · 04-03-2012, 01:28 AM

M359s FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ALUFELGEN · 04-04-2012, 11:10 AM

Come to our offices in Doral and check out the SF-71 Diamond Cut wheels in person. They are pretty concave in both the front AND the rear. You are local to us so we know how to treat our local customers

NiVeDh · 04-04-2012, 12:30 PM

Neither. Go OEM ZCP's.

Whorning · 04-04-2012, 02:01 PM

hmm, i like the avante garde a little better.

Kid Red · 04-04-2012, 02:07 PM

I'm not a fan of the black painted insides so I'm biased right off the bat.

Hooy · 04-04-2012, 02:11 PM

Design: AG
Finish: Aluf
Price: Tie
Weight: Aluf
Width/fitment: AG

With Aluf/Morr being local, repairing the dual tone finish would be easy (but not cheap). AG's wheel will be easy for any shop to fix. Ultimately, it's up to which design you like. I'd go with the AG's simply for width and design - I wouldn't care that they're probably heavier. Hell, my $$$ ADV1's are heavy as fuck.

merchomini · 04-04-2012, 02:41 PM

thats a tough decision....dont like the two tone finish but solid it would legit.

._. · 04-04-2012, 03:37 PM

the sf-71 comes in the same finish as the Ag as well.

Went for Avante garde. Got a decent price

thanks everyone!

Sardine93 · 04-05-2012, 07:14 PM

I would select the SF-71's as you can get the same finish as the AG's. Furthermore, you are local and therefore should feel more comfortable purchasing from a local company in case you have an issue. As an example, I had a minor issue with one of my wheels and Carlos from Alufelgen replaced the wheel immediately without question. You will not be dissapointed doing business with these guys. Hope this helps.

Sardine93 · 04-05-2012, 07:17 PM

Sorry - I just saw that you already selected the AG's. Congrats and Good Luck with the wheels.
