Avant garde m359 wheels in Oz?
I'd prefer originals but they cost a bomb. Ozzie tyres are the reps for AG in Australia but they don't do the 359s Does anywhere else sell them or do I have to get them in from the states?

AG 359 is a lot better looking than GTC CX (which I have got)
I was trying to get AG 359 but cheapest one is from uk, close to $2000 AUD shipped. That's why I went with GTC CX If I were to choose again, I think I will spend the extra $800 and get the AG 359. |

The 359s have a lot more concavity to them and that's why I want them

Tempe Tyres sold these years ago for 1.8K aud but have since foregone them for the cheaper 359 style wheels which are only 1K so to appeal the mass market who only want affordable wheels.

Yeah went through this with my wheels for the same design style, looked at the ag and priced them evwrywhere from everyone, still very expensive.
Ended up going with locally made Koyas the SF07 design as its quite similar and as they do custom offsets/width ect they go super deep concave aswell. My build thread has pics of them, i cant be assed posting pics here from my phone, shitfight. Edit, while these wheels might all look similar i assure you they are not, huge difference and having owned gtc before, nothing compares to decent fitment and a more polished and striking design. |

I agreed that the AG 359 is the best looking one that looks very very similar to the OEM M359 rims.
The others such as the GTC CX that I have got is nowhere near the M359. The AG 359 available to our cars is quite aggressive though, they have different setup but the one that would generally suits our car is like 19x9 front and 19x10 rear with quite aggressive offset like 20-30, can't really remember. |

They(retailer) spec them as 19x9 et35 and 19x10 et38. I'm going to be using my existing PSS 235/35/19 and 265/30/19 on them. Given the extra width, it should give the tyres the standard stretch look back and with the extra width and offset it should make it sit a bit more flush but I'd like to see pics of cars with the same setup if you've got them ? My car is an 06/09 MY09.5 which has some upgrade features over the non LCI but isn't an LCI so I'm unsure if it'll have the wider track LCIs have.

The offset will help you and slightly narrower tyre, but if you've got oem sussy you'll probably need to roll the guards. |

Found a set for under 1700Aud which is a lot better than I first thought... bonus I might splash out on some brakes.

I'm pretty sure that vendors on these boards might have them on their eBay store but you'll need to ask about shipping ...

I bought a set from BM Autosport in the UK, and had them shipped to NZ. I think in NZD it was around $1,800 including shipping, GST and customs charges. They're actually still sitting under my desk at work while I decide which tyres to put on them. I can't wait to get them on the car though - the concave on the rear wheels is pretty nice and the build & paint quality seem good. I'm going to put them on a set of scales before fitting tyres as well, just to compare them to the weights of the OE M359s which I believe are 11.76 kg and 12.12kg.
The set I bought have ET35 front offsets and ET38 rear offsets. They're designed specifically for the E9X series and fit perfectly. |

If you like the way mine sits ill chase up my offsets ect, im sure they are written somewhere on here. I cant see how it woupd be possible to go more agressive without running into scrubbing or trashing guard's. Thier recommendation was pretty close, i only altered it a little and its basically spot on, i mean i could go a 5mm spacer up front and it would be flush but id be scrubbing for sure, as you cant even fit a bees dick between the tyre and the guard when i turn the wheels to lock, its pretty low. Tyre is in the guards front and rear.
In fact, even running a squarer tyre instead of my ku39s would probably see me scrub. |

The recommended offsets are +35 front and +38 rear for 9s and 10s respectively that might be conservative and you may be able to make them sit more flush.
