Avant Garde M359 silver or Apex Arc-8 for my TiAg e90??? HELP!

Been torn all week on this decision. Been leaning towards the AG M359 as I have a big gift card on Amazon and have found someone selling then in e90 18" size for $899 shipped. That seems to me a pretty low price for these excellent wheels.

On the other hand.... I really love the Arc-8!!!!

Help me decide?

I've had both. Go with the Arc-8's. They look so much better on this car.

I am so tempted. I really love the M359 though. Can't find much bad about them online. Good quality.

The Apex are really nice...I agree. I have a feeling whichever way I go I will be wishing I did the other.

I have some cheap hyper black CSL reps and desperately need a change. Still leaning on the AG's. Thank you your posts. Care to expand on your post???

Avant's for more aftermarket look, apex for track type look, lightweight wheels.. I think you want the AG's so just go with your opinion!!!

These are nice at $250ea.

I REALLY like these:
Bremmer Kraft BR09 18" for $165. Probably my next set of tires will come wrapped around these.

Thanks for the posts. I did end up going for the AG's. Couldn't beat the price. Always liked them.

Will do for sure!!! On another mod binge. Rewrapped my interior last night brushed steel. Got a cf rear spoiler and mounted that this morning. Wheels ship tomorrow. V3's and Vorshlag camber plates a couple months ago.

The cycle is almost over. Going to replace the upper windshield trim this week.

Couldn't go wrong with either rim. ModB's should have BMW center caps in stock. At least they did when I bought my AG's from them.

What's the lightest and strongest wheel or are they mutually exclusive?

OP, i like the AG's m359's myself.
