AG M359 VS Linea Corse LC818

KN| BMW · 11-01-2011, 02:38 AM

I'm thinking to purchase one of these wheels, but I cant decide what to get.
AG M359 has better look than LC 818 but the LC 818 has deeper concave than M359 specially at rear. Does LC818 fit the OEM centercap? I want to stick on the OEM cap instead of any aftermarket caps.

I have no idea how is the quality of LC818, durability compare with the AG M359??

Now I need advice from you guys to get the right one. Actually I bought a set of M359 for my friend, they look so good in person.

Thanks guys!

How are the LC 818's made? (flow formed, casting, forged, etc etc??)

The LC's do look better IMO.

2 votes for 818?? Anymore?

The AG M359 wheels do feature a concave design and are low pressure cast. I'll have to agree with you as they do definitely look great!

I didn't buy it from my friend. Bought it off a vendor. I'm currently running an oem 17s.

LC818 is low pressure casted

great design, ton of concavity in the rear and good amount in the front as well.

Great design also as no part of the wheel on the LC818 sticks out past the edge of the wheel...hard to find on concave designs a lot of the time.

Also, the LC818 has a uniform spoke design so it's concave all the way, not flat at the edge with a dip in the center

OEM cap will work if your car is a 2010 or newer..if it isn't, you can buy the cap from a 2010 or newer car (make sure it has the black clipping area, not the grey)

SpmnE9zero · 11-01-2011, 03:44 PM

M359s

I also considered both wheels when I'm still in the market looking for 19" aftermarket wheels. But I ended up with LC818 because I'm looking for more concave. I never regret choosing the LC818 because I onced parked in a parking lot next to an M3 with OEM 359M Competition Wheels. The concave on LC818 is way more aggressive than the 359M and the spokes on 359M looks busy. And yeah, my 2011 wheel cap fits but not as flush as the LC wheel caps.

Lc818

I3ossman · 11-02-2011, 10:21 PM

I'd have to agree with the majority.. Lc818 concave is unmatched imo, they look sickkk

ameers335i · 11-02-2011, 10:45 PM

KN| BMW · 11-03-2011, 12:45 AM

Wow..So many votes for LC 818, The thing is LC818 is little expensive than the M359

I have decided to get M359 again as the price is cheaper and fast customer service from Sean!
