Niche, Avante Garde, or Alufelgen?????

spindiesel · 03-14-2013, 07:13 AM

Looking for new wheels for my EBII F30 sedan. Came across the Niche M129 wheels in anthracite finish. Like the open look of them, dont know about their strength and finish quality. Others on the radar are Avant Garde M510's (in silver), and Alufelgen sf-71's (in gunmetal).... input is appreciated.....

I suggest you look at VMR or Morr wheels.

Avant Garde are great. I would stay away from VMR they are soft and heavy.

going with light wheels and tires is probably the best Warranty friendly mod you can do for performance.

After saving about 6-7lbs per wheel/tire combo. I have noticed a nice difference in acceleration and agility.

Out of those three I vote for the AG510's. I don't like the first one. Alufelgen sf-71 are pretty nice, too.

Been researching advant garde wheels, there seem to be a fair few people reporting the wheels bending easily?

AG wheels also need hub rings.

Ordered Alufelgen sf-71's in 19", hyperblack finish with oem sensors, and Continental DW's in 235/35, 265/35. Should be here late next week......

Avante Garde have a better concave and look. I run them on DWS's awesome setup.
