Looking to buy new wheels - where to buy?

Hey guys!

I'm thinking of buying Avant Garde M359's. I want staggered 19x9 front and 19x10 rear in a Matte black finish.

http://www.lkperformance.co.uk/wheel...0&rear=19x10.0

This is the cheapest I have found them in the UK but even this seems overpriced seeing as I've seen the exact same wheels in different finishes such as Satin Black and Hypersilver on ******** for around £600/700.

How is it that the Matte black adds so much price??

Can anyone suggest where to get them cheaper or is this as good as I'm going to get?

Thanks!

I take it you checked ******** can't do them in Matte black?

Are you definitely sold on matte? I considered matte black but I hear they are quite difficult to keep clean. Filth and crap getting into the texture. Though I have not seen any up close or maintained any so that is just third party info.

Just looked at the price. Crazy difference. Perhaps get the cheapest from ******** and get them refinished in matte black? Seems like it would work out miles cheaper.

You could buy them in a different finish for a cheaper price and have them powder coated to your exact liking. Im looking at getting some similar style wheels and powder coating them satin bronze!

Could you get the silver and have them wrapped/plasti dipped matte black? At least there would be the option of removing the wrap in the future if you wanted to revert to silver
