What do you think of Advant Garde wheels?

TongMan · 10-14-2010, 07:25 PM

I was browsing through ebay and stumbled upon these wheels. They look similar to the Forgestars and come in staggared setup just for our 370z.

I'm really happy with mine.

christian370z · 10-14-2010, 08:23 PM

Are those appreciably heavier than the sport package rims? I think they look great, but I would not get them in flat black since the wheel tends to get lost in the wheel well.

TongMan · 10-14-2010, 08:35 PM

I like the replica, but I wanted it in either gold or bronze, which they don't have.

Look a LOT heavier than the spt rims

I love them. I'm currently saving up for a set of these with a set of coilover.

It's a lot cheaper than the hre p40.

Have they slowed you down at all? I'm just wondering if weight is a problem with these wheels?

kenchan · 01-24-2011, 12:00 PM

i donno, if im going mesh i would get the TSW nurbs. they are comparable to the sport19's weights (21-22lbs area, not 27lbs). 5lbs unspurng weight is like adding 100lbs to your car. also check out forgestar.

Z2nv · 01-24-2011, 12:08 PM

the tsw nurb wheels are super light, when i got my set for my svt cobra i took them out and the fisrt thing i said is "wow" this wheel is super light! i paid 1200 all in for a set 9X19 and 10.5X19.. the only thing is they arent really concaved like the advant's.. more flat faced.

TonyBPD · 01-24-2011, 12:13 PM

Not that I can really tell. They are approximately 25lbs. (f) and 27lbs. (r). They are heavier than my stock 18's I would imagine. I'm not heading out to the strip anytime soon.

God-Speed · 01-25-2011, 01:20 PM

Mine are on the way. Can't wait to get them put on. Will post pictures when my swift springs and wheels get put on.

kenchan · 01-25-2011, 02:11 PM

they definitely look nice, that's for sure.

ive seen them on one of the local bimmer guy's E46 M3. it looked badarse. for normal driving they will do fine.

I didn't have any plans on lowering mine but after ready up on the Swift springs I may be lowering it.

chuckd05 · 01-25-2011, 09:03 PM

the sport rays arent exactly feather weights but I am sure these are a touch heavier... They are nice though...

and that white Z needs to be lowered ASAP! Wheels def. look good though...

the rays are pretty light for streetable wheels of their size.

I believe these guys wind up being 5-6 lbs heavier, which is pretty substantial in my mind.
