I have both. AG 359 in black, and ZCP in silver. They look identical to me besides the color, and more aggressive offset on the AG's. Obviously the GTS/ZCP wheels are lighter. I prefer the look of the AG's because of the offset.

I'd go genuine GTS wheels or competition wheels and powder coat them.

Nice I have both as well. Use my AG's in satin black for the track and ZCP in silver for daily driving. I didn't weight them but I held both at the same time and to me they weighed the exact same.

Besides the obvious price differential, the key to which one the OP buys is based on how much negative camber in the front. The AG's have a more aggressive front offset (rears are exactly the same) so if you run more than say -1.8 in the front, you need AG's for sure. The ZCPs will otherwise tuck too much. For this reason, I run my daily drive front alignment at -1.7 and track alignment the front gets -2.3.

If you don't have a ZCP car, I'd go AG. Less reason to keep wheels "original" and instead save a good chunk. A tad more aggressive offset wont hurt either.

I would go with AG and save money. They are strong as OEM and have more aggressive offset. A win-win to me!

If yes, buy the OEM wheels, if no, buy Avant Garde.
