Avant Garde opinions

[MsE36]

Hey guys,

So I'm thinking about picking up a set of wheels for my white e36.
I was thinking that I really liked the Avant Garde F141's.
I was gonna go ahead and get a custom set.
So here is where you all come in,

1. I wanted to know all your opinions on AG wheels (Both positive and negative).

2. If I do customize them, what would be your opinion as to the specs that I should run. I'm looking to pick up 18" wheels. Don't want anything really crazy as for width of the wheel so maybe a 18x8.5? And I want to have a nice clean lip on it but nothing too aggressive. What would you think of 18x8.5 ET25???
(If i have to run spacers, I don't mind that.)

3. This is my car currently on 18x8 +40mm square set up.

If you're getting custom wheels, why not get the right offset?

I don't know exactly what the right offset is which is why I also am asking for opinions. I've read a lot of the perfect fitment thread and there was way too many posts there for me to make any sort of progress. Haha

Overall. I guess I'm really looking for some opinions on the AG wheels themselves as a brand and the quality of it. If it's worth buying.

My bad, reread your post and realized that my eyes jumped straight to, "If i have to run spacers, I don't mind that." If you have no idea, (somewhat last resort) then find the difference in wheel wheel width (in mm) and make that your rough offset, ROUND DOWN. Be ready to order 5mm spacer if need be, but hope you got the right fit.
EDIT: This is also if you are fine with rolling fenders and just don't want scrubbing on the inside wheel-well.
