Attn: Avant Garde wheel resellers and potential buyers.

Tag · 01-03-2011, 02:58 PM

I recently spoke with AG about getting their M310 wheel in a two tone finish that's the same as wheels on an ///M car. They currently only offer the Polished/Gunmetal finish for Audi and VW but surprisingly not for BMW. AG said that they haven't received a demand for them from the BMW resellers and until they do they don't have any plans to make the wheels in that finish.

I'm setting up this poll to see what the interest would be for this wheel.

And these are the answers you'll get if you ask "does this look good?"

The only opinion that is important is yours. Do you like them? If so, then all is good.

I would generally agree with you, but I don't believe the OP asked "does this look good"; I think it was a poll to determine if that finish for BMW's would be viable.

WWONG · 01-03-2011, 03:51 PM

I'd say gunmetal is a lot better than the silver in every car or the black that's under the hub caps of Corollas. Meanwhile, I'd argue these wheels look 9000000000000000% better than the taste some of the people on the forums have...

Exactly.

I'm not asking if anyone likes the wheels in general but rather inquiring about the finish. I had M6 reps and the two tone look of gunmetal w/machined face really set them out from the rest. They especially look awesome on a SG car. In general I love the two tone finish of wheels like all the ///M cars have. The AG M310 is a rep of the HRE P40 and IMO would look amazing in a two tone finish on a bimmer.

B3AST · 01-03-2011, 05:15 PM

The finish looks fantastic...I'd be interested

SV Concepts III · 01-04-2011, 12:39 PM

It's a great finish option, if there is enough interest to justify a run, we can help set it up with AG. We are an Authorized Dealer for AG and work closely with them so we can make it happen with enough interest- keep voting!

Gavin@MMW · 01-04-2011, 12:43 PM

Ive been asking for this finish to be made for the BMW crowd for a while now, and being an Authorized Avant Garde Dealer, we do need some more interest from the mainstream consumers to make it happen

Tag · 01-04-2011, 05:01 PM

Happy to hear our vendors are behind us if we get enough interest.

Please vote!

I love these and just tried to buy them last week... Only to find out they cannot fit a 335. It'd be great if someone offered this style in a 19" for a 335... I'd buy in a heartbeat.

Tag · 01-06-2011, 01:06 PM

I'm in the same boat, I would buy these in an instant. With 275 hits on this thread already you would think there would be more votes.

Could anyone photoshop them on a 335???

Gavin@MMW · 01-10-2011, 01:14 PM

Hey Guys,
I can have them bored for the e9x, if your interested - drop me a PM.

ModBargains.com · 01-10-2011, 01:16 PM

**********s.com is both the largest stocking distributor and official retail distributor for Avant Garde wheels. We've brought this finish up to Avant Garde numerous times to bring this finish in. However, you do have to understand that the demand has to be there for them to take the risk of bringing in such a high qty of wheels. Why don't you start a list to see exactly how many people here on E90post would be willing to get orders setup for this finish specifically. Feel free to add yourselves to the list as well guys
