So after a ton of crazy mishaps with elementwheels.com they FINALLY came. My new Avant Garde M310's. 18X8.5 +35 with stock tires.

As they arrived. They were very well packaged. Nicely done Avant Garde...

This is another look.

Finally, Here are they are on my Ironman Silver VT. I do have NGM coilovers on the way which will help a lot IMO.

When I drop it I will post some more pics.

Wow those are some sharp looking wheels!

WOW! These look AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do they feel light?

I love avant garde wheels!

I am getting a set myself

Can't wait to see how they look when the vt get lowered on the NGM's

Looks good. Element is right down the road from the wife's work. I drive by it all the time. Always want to go in and chat it up but I'm afraid I'll leave with new wheels and tires.

Would love to know the weight on how much lighter than stock rims

The weight was marked on the shipping box as 22.6 pounds per rim. Honestly they did feel lighter but I am not sure about the specs on the OEM rims.

They were great to work with. Back story was I originally ordered some Tenzo-R Concept 9 wheels. However after a week and a half they still had not shipped yet. They said it was because Tenzo was moving warehouses and after like 6 calls down to Tenzo, Element said that they could not give me a ship date because Tenzo was still saying 3 days to a week after what was already a week and a half. Ryan at Element gave me a good deal on the Avant Garde wheels and was very helpful and understood where I was coming from. I would recommend Element to anyone.

Good to know. I'll hit them up when the time comes.

And that 22.6 pounds is not the rims I bet. I bet that is packaged and all.

So I say no more than 22 pounds.

I heard the vt stock rims are 26. that is great.

Avant Garde are lighter and stronger than other knock offs.

Element is nearby? Uh Oh. Wonder how bad my wife would kill me.

Edit: Just looked. They are 12 miles from my house. I want to go so bad. My wife would kill me. Wheels, death, wheels, death. Tough choice.

Just saying. At least you will get to enjoy the new wheels for about a day or so.... hahaha!

 

[eclipes]

these wheels look really good, specs is perfect to be flushed. Plus they look good without lowering.

That looks awesome man. That's the look I'm trying to go for. So the stock tires fit with no problem?

Stock tires fit great. A little stretch but nothing bad.

 

[Magneticmuffin]

That's good, I'm looking to replace the rims but not the tires yet because they're still new. And those rims look awesome with ironman silver.
