How do you guys feel about the quality of Avant Garde?

I'm looking at the M368 wheel in 19 inch. They seem very reasonable price-wise. I havent ever bought wheels new, just a set of used 300zx rims for my old Maxima, but holy sticker shock. Volks can be 800 bucks each! That seems insane to spend on a car. The M368 weights around what stock 18's weight (albeit the rotating mass is 1/2 further away from the hub) and looks hot. Plus it will show those beautiful 4 piston calipers that the stockers tend to hide (Sedan).

AVANT GARDE® M368 Wheels - Custom M368 Rims

Thoughts?

If you like the design, then I say go for it. With that said there are wheels that are made to perform and there are wheels that are only made to look good. The Volks are $800 a piece for a reason. Gotta pay to play!

My friend has Avant Garde M310 on his bimmer and it tanked through countless potholes here in LA. He had it for about 1.5 years and the quality is great and so is the price.

Im looking to get the M310 in 19 inch with 8.5 fronts (245 tires) and 9.5 rears (275 tires). Does anyone know the offsets and whether it will be flushed?
