Avant Garde M359 in Gloss Gun Metal avail in US??

Hello,

I'm interested in the AG M359 wheels in Gloss Gun Metal color. It looks like they are available in UK. Does anyone know if they will be available in the US too?

Ebay link:

Thanks,
Jim

I believe these never came from AG in this color. Must have been painted by the reseller.

Possibly but looking at the label on these boxes, the color is indicated as "GM" which I believe it stands for Gun Metal. I think the label is from AG. Looking at the Pass sticker on the rim, it's also unlikely that these stickers were put on by the reseller after they paint them.

I know this for a fact because I contacted AG directly recently asking the same question..

Last time I spoke to AG they said that they would be able to paint the wheels in any color for a nominal fee. May be worth checking with them again.

In case anybody else is interested, I called Avante Garde to ask about these. The Gunmetal finish is only available in Europe as their distributors order directly from the factory in different colors and offsets. Note that the UK front wheels are +15 front rather than +18 like we get in the US. You can custom order the GM finish from Mod Bargains for an extra $400 and a 4wk lead time.
