Anyone familiar with Avarus wheels? Any good? I was looking at the AV6 listed on tirerack.

Avarus AV6 Silver Machined w/Clearcoat

 

They look alright. I'm sure they would be just fine for you if they have the right sizes and offsets. I have never heard of the brand but for everyday driving you're not really having to worry about weight. Yes, you need strength out of them but for everyday driving you're not going to have problems. If you like them I say get em. They aren't my style. I like lips and the mean staggered look. If they're your style I have nothing against that though, to each his own. I'm looking at several TSW wheels. I've heard great things about their quality for the price they are being sold for. But as always, seeing them on a computer screen is different from seeing them on the car so I suggest doing some photoshop or finding a site where you can see the wheels on the car (can't remember if tirerack has that or not).

 

The front fitment is fine the rear you will need a 15 or 20 mm spacer.

 

I was just looking at these for my alabaster XF

Bremmer Kraft BR05 Black w/Mach Lip

 

Thanks for the feedback. I really wanted to go with a set of SRT wheels as that is the look I am trying to achieve with the Avarus set. I am just not finding a good set for a good price. I actually ordered a set of reconditioned SRT wheels and they had allot of pitting so I shipped them back.

 

If you are looking for the SRT look, you got it pretty close with those wheels. The lip is missing when compared to the SRT. If you like the look, go for it. I like the small lip of the SRT wheels, but I prefer the lip width to be the same front and rear, which rarely happens.

Good luck, James

 

Essentially, it's a RWD car and a Wider rear communicates that and goes well with the overall arrow shape of the car. It has a boat tail rear and a small front and is RWD and the staggered wheels bring that look to the next level and work with the design. Same size lip front and rear is never a good choice and every time I see a G35/37, Z, S2K, or similar with same size front and rear wheels I laugh.

 

Where did you get them from?

 

TSW Zolder 5, silverstone, and willow all have varying numbers of spokes in roughly that style (or a Mercedes AMG style on the silverstone) and have lips. TSW claims to be the world leading manufacturer of staggered wheel fitments.

 

FP, I had gotten the SRT reconditioned set from allfactorywheels.com. They did take care of me and take them back for a full refund so their customer service was were I expected it to be for a retailer. You recommend someone else?

 

Glad you had a good experience. I had mine chromed at LA Wheel, but there are a number of shops that restore OEM wheels. If you find a decent set here on the forum, contact your local dealer, and ask them who refinishes their damaged wheels.

GREAT looking car. Is that matte graphite or just the light?
