We are one of the largest dealers for both Forgestar and Avant Garde and I'd be more than happy to help out. To start off, both wheels are constructed differently. I do want to educate you on the quality and strength of wheels. In terms of the hierarchy of quality and strength the list goes from lowest to highest as follows: gravity cast, low-pressure cast, rotary forged aka flow form, and forged. Take into consideration also that all of the wheels that come standard from BMW straight from the factory are Low-pressure cast at a minimum.

Avant Garde M359 (Low-pressure cast)
Forgestar F14 (Rotary Forged)

All in all, they're both great setups and it comes down to what you're looking to do with the car specifically. Both wheels are concave in design and do look great. The Forgestar F14 is going to be a lighter and stronger wheel than the AG M359 and is great if you're looking for a relatively inexpensive rotary forged wheel. It's a much better choice if you're focused on weight savings and of course performance. Take into consideration that Forgestar wheels are all custom made to order and do take 6-8 weeks up on the date of the order for completion. The Avant Garde M359 wheels on the other hand are in-stock and ready to ship out immediately. Here are a few pics of each setup for you to check out!

I prefer the Avant Garde M359's. Both are beautiful wheels, you can't go wrong.

chancejat · 08-02-2011, 12:40 PM

forgestar for a more aggressive look, avant if you want to look stock still....my vote is for forgestar f14's....

Sean@PYSpeed.com · 08-02-2011, 12:42 PM

OEM look is the preferred style of choice. Most people want to look oem but yet settle with subtle mods. Shot you a PM

pquarta1 · 08-02-2011, 12:43 PM

order forgestars and wait forever. AG 359s are a great looking wheel. Go for it!

bliss at 9k · 08-02-2011, 02:25 PM

M359 for the win!

churchillps · 08-04-2011, 10:37 PM

Might as well throw Morr VS8.2 and Aluflegen SF-71 into the conversation as well

churchillps · 08-05-2011, 06:19 PM

What's the concavity like on the Forgestar v SF-71?

DaFish · 08-05-2011, 08:58 PM

what are the front and rear rim sizes (IE: 9") and what are the offset shown?

What are also the tire sizes shown too.

Thanks

Abrahams600 · 08-05-2011, 09:04 PM

Go with the AG 359...The sizes shown are probably 19x9 +35 front and 19x10 +38 rears...

greasemonkey08101 · 08-17-2011, 11:56 AM
