What are my 20" Matte Black Wheel Options

AgsWin · 11-11-2011, 08:18 PM

Just looking to see what the options are out there for affordable matte black wheels. My car is due to arrive in about 3 weeks and I am ready to buy. I know about the Forgestar F14's, but besides that what else is available for under $1500 for 4 wheels?

Narrowed down to Avant Garde M310 and the VMR V710. Any thoughts? Ive heard the AG are made better because they are gravity cast, can anybody tell me more?

Do you mean RIMS plus TIRES are gonna cost more than $1500 for any of the above brand.

I believe vmr wheels and maybe avant garde wheels are within your range.

Oops, I shoulda read your second post. I like the vmr wheels a lot.

Ive been told that the VMR's and the AG's are basically the same wheel, but that the VMR's are of a less quality becuase they are gravity cast and the AG's are pressure cast.

Does anybody know the difference betweem these two processes and why one might be higher quality than the other?

AGSwin, i see this all the time where vendors will post the difference in casting methods and whats better then others and its very true some process is better then others but everyone that wants a low pressure cast wheel is also worried about actual weight of wheel and if you put both AG and VMR together they weigh right about the same, + the cost is right about the same, both wheel companies produce their wheels the same exact way, theirs no actual visual proving that a wheel is low pressure cast, i hope im not confusing you, in my personal opinion i would go with a company that has history and plenty of reputation and that will honor a warranty if one where to come by.
what good is having a low pressure cast wheel when a company wont back up their product when the time arise? im not saying to buy MRR wheels just go with a reputable company i vote VMR, good guys, good wheels and reputable.
