My other opinion is that a dark gray/gunmetal could get lost on your car's color, and only look good up close. Granted, it would look very, very good up close, but still.

I'm so so between, and that's what I said at first when I have seen them in person on a sedan that they look like CV3s but I was corrected right away that it's the other way around, CV3s look like those..

Here's a picture of a pal's sedan with them on...





So then I considered the M510 which look very alike ADV1 wheel, dont know what model it is, but the let's assume "painted" BBK will not pop as much as with M550.

IDK honestly... BTW Alex at 180 had both sets on his sedan, and about the color scheme, I've been wondering about the dolphin gray too, as much as I like that color, I think it comes matte not gloss so it might get lost.. I need more opinions... Lol

I'm leaning towards a set of Avant Gardes either the M510s

or the M550s five spoke wheels which IMO will look great and show off that BBK that eventually will be painted/powdercoated ( possibly the dark maroon color)

What do you guys think??

Brad those 5 spokes look good indeed !
I've always been a fan of Avante Gardes' wheel lineup, and after GetYourWheels epic thread I'm more of a fan, some of the colors are drop dead gorgeous too!

Looking forward to your choice, I know it'll compliment everything you've done thus far to a T!

The more suggestions you give me the more confused I get and don't even wanna go through this whole which-wheel-to-pick-out-of-million-possible-choices thing


@Brad , that getyourwheels thread is sick !!!! so many unbelieveably amazing finishes and beautiful wheels ! You have caused such a confusion that I no longer am sure what I'd like but I have come across post #28

The Avant Gardes M510s Bespoke 3 Brushed Stainless finish and it looks SICK !!! looks somewhat gunmetal and what not, which means it would go well with the color of my car which I like, yet it's not too dull , so it wouldn't be lost further away from the car

What do you think John?

Haha I kid I kid, no but seriously way too many beautiful wheels and finish choices... I just contacted them regarding that particular finish, and while a set of those wheels is $1200, the finish is additional $650 !!! because it's hand made !

Yeah, I think the standard coloring is $300 a set and the ones that have the brushed/machined effect are the higher price, still pretty cool deal for some real unique looks.

The Avant Gardes M510s Bespoke 3 Brushed Stainless finish...

YES!

I think they would be killer on shadow graphite. They will also look good with either caliper color you go with. So it's a little more to get that great finish, won't it be worth it?

Thank you for your honest opinion, appreciate it and I think You are definitely right and It seems like the feeling about those Wheels in that finish is mutual. I just wanted to see what other people think, if it was just me or it actually looks amazing and could look ever better against my graphite shadow sedan

Anyone else who would like to share their opinion about those AG M510 wheels in that custom brushed finish couple posts up and if they would look good on my graphite shadow sedan?

Awesome, thanks for sharing your opinion Ahmed! Appreciate it.
Yes I am, that I guess I'm pretty much swt on in this case,but idk when will I get them, even if I would in 2 months, it would be pointless for me to put them on right before winter, and wait till spring so I might just get them closer towards spring.
