18" AG M359 on E90 Le Mans Blue LCI

chatch10 · 08-12-2012, 05:56 PM

I just wanted to put up a few pics of the new 18" Avant Garde M359's. I've had these wheels for about 6 weeks now and I'm still impressed by them every day. The quality and finish is beautiful!

I purchased these from **********s and I want to give a shout out to Frank Kim. If you ever want to purchase anything, don't hesitate to call. The customer support was outstanding and I will continue to bring my business to MB.

A couple things to note from my experience. Maybe it was just my service tech, but just pay the extra money and stick with the OEM TPMS. I bought the Oro-Tek and they could not get them on these wheels. Another thing, I bought 18's because I wanted to not spend extra money and just use my stock RF's. Worst decision ever! I will never drive on RF's again.

Just to note, I won't be going to 19's or dropping the car at all. My only future mods will be 20% tint and Lux AE's... well that's the plan at least.

Any and all comments or criticisms are welcome.

P.S. Sorry for the quality. I only have a cell phone camera.

Alen E90 · 08-12-2012, 11:27 PM

looks really nice on your LMB E90, and i really love the look of the meaty tires

thanks for sharing the pics!

NiVeDh · 08-13-2012, 12:04 AM

Looks good. The 18's actually look bigger thanks to the extended spokes.

apc3libras · 08-13-2012, 12:06 AM

Very nice!

Jt6564 · 08-13-2012, 01:45 AM

Looks good!

chatch10 · 08-13-2012, 09:26 AM

Thanks for all the comments guys! I want to get better shots of the concavity of the rear wheels. It is amazing!

JStang · 08-13-2012, 09:44 AM

Nice wheels!

Isaiah5411 · 11-18-2012, 05:38 PM

So...you still on the stock RFs? How do they fit...a bit stretched? I saw that Sean recommends 235s front and 265s rear. How would that look ya think?

K3PW · 11-18-2012, 05:41 PM

Clean!

Thrakos · 11-18-2012, 06:05 PM

Yes, a brilliantly clean look - and I love the colour!

MassBimmer · 11-18-2012, 06:09 PM

One of my favorite wheel styles right now

RBR_630 · 11-18-2012, 06:12 PM

nice! we have the same exact car, including the performance kit.

i take it you don't have an x-drive model because yours doesn't look a mile high.

conolulu · 11-18-2012, 06:39 PM

looks really clean! is there a difference at all between the avant garde m359 and the oem m359? im at a lost between the two

chatch10 · 11-18-2012, 10:12 PM

HiHoAg - Yes, still stock RFs. They are a tad stretched, but not bad at all. I will be ditching them next spring since they are terrible. Probably going with Michelin PSS 235/265.

K3, BeMWeh, Mass - Thanks!

RBR - No xdrive here. Couldn't stand that gap and I just get a dedicated set for the winter so I'm fine.

conolulu - I am honestly not sure, but these look amazing in person so I'm okay with the reps!

just4kickz · 11-19-2012, 09:01 AM

clean

datbimmerdoe · 11-19-2012, 02:34 PM

18" version looks sick!

next mod: spacers

chatch10 · 11-20-2012, 05:34 PM

just4kickz - Thanks!

the infamous - I was thinking the same thing. Any idea on what I can fit without having to roll my fenders? Specs are 8.5 ET35 and 9.5 ET33.

e90dance · 11-20-2012, 07:30 PM

nice...

AdiSinghV12 · 11-21-2012, 02:04 AM

Looks nice and clean... Any plans on getting the spacers? They will certainly get you the perfect look! BTW, can you share what tires are you running? I mean the profile. Cheers!
