I'm listing up my wheels because the car is now a commuter car. I don't want to keep on purchasing tires for it so the stock wheels went back on the car. At least with the stock wheels I can put commuter cheapy tires on it.
The wheels are Avant Garde M580 in a brushed gunmetal finish. Size is 20x10 ET20. They fit perfectly on a B8. I'm lowered on eibach prokit with stock struts. The tires are Yokohama S-Drive 255/30/20 and I don't rub at all, but all tires are shot and will need to be replaced. So you're basically buying the wheels.
The bad: the finish from the factory is pretty much a thin coat of paint. The paint chips off through regular driving and kick up of debris. The wheels are not curbed, and no the shop that installed the tires did not mess it up. The wheels already had the tires on before the chips started happening. I contacted AG and they said it's out of warranty and can talk about a re-spray for a discount. I said forget it because obviously it's manufacture defect and they're asking me to pay for another go around. I'm thinking what if it starts to chip again when it's out of warranty. If I were going to refinish it, I'd get them powder coated. If you find the right gray marker/touch up paint you can probably blend it in. Again no curb rash what so ever.
Anyways i'm located in the bay area and I don't want to ship. Asking $900 for the set. I can email or text pictures because i don't have an online hosting site.
