AG wheels M359 19x10/11

spooni · 04-21-2022, 08:47 AM

Tempted to pre-order a set of these for my street set. Anyone have experience with this manufacturer? They're flow formed.

The general consensus seems to be good wheels, great fitment, bad finish.

Someone really needs to do forged ZCP reps. 10”/11” et25. 20 lbs. I’d buy two sets.

Flow formed is cast. Done fall for the marketing jargon. Anyone says otherwise is BS

DjMarkOne · 04-23-2022, 12:55 AM

Was so tempted to jump on the group buy, but then I saw some negative reviews on them. That’s too bad, I really wanted to purchase a set especially for the price

Yikes.

Well, good thing I asked. Seems like for comps, it's better to shell out the $$$ for the OEM set, or get another set of something forged.

Serious question. Why not go with BBS LM's in the same sizing and offset? The barrel is also forged. Is it due to cost considerations?

The answer is pretty simple. BBS LMs dont look exactly like the ZCP wheels, and the AGs do.

The goal for these wheels is identical look to the ZCP wheels, but wider.

I've got a set of these coming in the next week or so. Once I get them I'll toss in my $.02 on finish/quality.

if you have oem zcps to compare them against be prepared to be disappointed. i've seen these side by side and nothing comes close to beating the oem finish

My OEM ZCP's are in rough shape from the previous owner. Pretty heavy rash on 3 of the 4.

Worst case I'll have both sets refinished at some point.

Where did you see a Group Buy for the Avant Garde wheels?

You can't say the guys website without it being edited but it's in the OP image. I believe it was like 1,800 not including shipping

SilverSlug · 06-08-2022, 12:47 AM

Hmm last I checked M359 by AG were selling fit $1065, I wonder why a GB would be that costly.

Not sure where you are seeing that. The 9"/10" combo AG m359 is around 1400 from some quick googling.

Keep in mind we are talking about the 10"/11" combo, which you can only buy through the group buy. The 11" wheels were a custom run, that is the reason for the increased cost.

Ah ok I see. I didn't realize it was a one off run.

And regarding price for 9/10… The last quote I got from Vibe a few months back was $1075 + tax. I guess prices could have gone up since then though.

Who is working on a forged set?

And is it a one off run? Or ongoing manufacturing?

The same guy that set up the AG 19X10 19X11 wheels. He didn't say whos making the wheels and not sure if it's a one off run. I personally wouldn't purchase one off runs just in case I needed replacements

drwankel · 06-17-2022, 12:43 PM

The forged set rumors are real. I will be upgrading.

SilverSlug · 06-17-2022, 12:55 PM

Are they going to be made by Avant Garde?
