As the title says really!
I'm nearing the point of pulling the trigger on a nice new set of 19's in the M359 style for my E91 lci. I like both of these wheels as they both seem to have a nice deep concave. Does anyone now if one is deeper than the other, and is there any reason why I should choose one over the other? The Strom M359's are a bit cheaper than the Avant Gardes so at the moment I'm swaying towards them.

Both nice, avant gardes very popular, not sure if fitment of the storms is perfect

You usually get what you pay for when it comes to wheels, the cheaper they are the less structurally sound they are. Of course, you can easily replace them if you hit a pothole or curb.

To be fair there wasn't a lot in the price difference. Managed to strike a good deal on the Strom M359. With a bit of luck the deal should be done by the end of the week. Also managed to find a good deal on some tyres - Toyo Proxes Sport 235 35 19 front and 265 30 19 rear, so look to get them ordered up soon as well.
Just need some bmw centre caps and 'm' badges. Dont suppose any one knows which size I need as I've seen a few different sizes on ebay.

I'd go ag, just because they're a more well known company, a lot of people run them I haven't heard anything bad about them

Well my new wheels and tyres have been ordered today. I'm a little excited as I've never bought a brand new set of wheels before!
Got a good deal on the Strom's due to being a member on here and other forums. Also got a banging deal on tyres. Went for Goodyear in the end as Black Circles have got a black friday deal on - 15% off goodyear's. Ended up saving £80 on the tyres which made them less than £20 more than the Toyo's, so seemed like a no brainer. The deal on the wheels saved me £40, so all in all I saved myself £120. Result!
Cant wait for them to arrive and to get them on the car.

Yeah I noticed that with my Avant Gardes but I don't give them chance with how thin my sidewall is... rims cracks and slow leak a few times per year I've always been weld fixing them.
