avante vs oem M359 difference?
is there a noticeable difference between these wheels? can't really tell them apart besides strength and that one wheel is made by BBS...Do they have the same concave as OEM?

The offsets on the avant Garde are more aggressive. Reduces the need for spacers. Other than that, they are pretty much identical based on a side by side comparison.

Look almost identical but OEM is much higher quality. I wouldn't consider AG wheels considering they are a downgrade from OEM. Don't spend your money to replace OEM wheels with something of lesser quality.

so the front off set on the reps would be 18 and 25 rear...how about the concave is it the same I remember my E46 M3 there was a difference between oem and replicas..If they look exactly the same why not plus there is no printing on the outside of the wheels like the csl to distinguish fake vs oem

I run AG's as my track wheels and ZCPs as my daily driving wheels. They look EXACTLY the same. I like the AGs better because I don't need to run a spacer. Quality of the AG's is the same as the ZCPs. Paint on both is soft so both chip easily. Would not waste the extra money for ZCPs if I needed to choose between the two.

My suggestion buy the real thing. Wheels are a safety item, especially on a car with no spare. |

I've seen cracked AG wheels but never seen a cracked OEM ZCP wheel. As a golf instructor, I've come across fake/knock off clubs and cosmetically, they look the same, but once you cut one in half, it's very obvious. I know clubs are not wheels, but metal is metal, fake is fake. You get what you pay for.

I don't need to be a guniea pig with a $70K car to satisfy folks like you. Sounds like the OP already made his decision anyways, so what is the point of your post? |
