Just wondering what you guys think about these wheels and which would you prefer. The car is Titanium Grey Metallic II.

Miro 111, Forgestar F14, or Avant Garde M310

Miro 111: Looks cool and the flare on the side of the mesh\spokes is different. Also the flares fill the whole wheel when viewed at an angle, however, there seems to be quite a few more of these popping up lately and getting too common.

Forgestar F14: Flow form technology is cool, but the mesh spokes seem too pointy for a 4 door sedan and more suitable to a smaller car. Don't you think?

Avant Garde M310: Looks great, however it seems very simple and needs more "pop" to them.

Also, I plan on getting Hankooks mounted

From all your comments, you don't seem to like any of them...so I don't see how our opinions matter..but I'd do Miros then the Forgestars.

I was just merely stating my personal pros and cons for each one but the bottom line is that I like them all. If I could afford ADV's then this thread is moot.

I like all of them. I personally have the Forgestar's. The M310 looks good in 20". We installed some 111's on a titanium grey and it looked awesome. Hit me up and I'll get you some pricing with tires

hard to tell that from pictures I've learned. Now that I have the M310's they are much more concave in person than they are in pictures.

Here are mine.....although not 20's





If you want extra pop and want something different than the standard 2 colors...spend the extra $200 and get them powder coated. Mine are done in Jet Anthracite Matte.

Keep this in mind though if your go for the M310's. They are not hub-centric on E60's and, need rings front and rear. Discovering this, I have a set of rings coming from Avant Garde that will hopefully take care of my vibrations.

How much extra are the rings? Are there any cons of using them?

BTW, I want to get the flushed look as well as much as possible without rubbing.

The rings are free, and should of been included, but they forgot to send them with the wheels apparently.

Forgestar's I believe require rings too....not sure on the Miro's. If the wheels are not hub centric, then you will need rings or you will have vibration issues. I would have preferred hub centric wheels, but I don't think there are any cons with using them....only thing maybe would be making sure when you get a balance job that the tech doesn't lose them.

My rears are 19x11 et33, and I have a a pair of 10mm spacers coming, so hopefully that will make them more flush. The fronts are 8.5 et15, and are flush enough for me
