Wheel Profile: F140 [ 19x10" / Brushed Polished ]
Before a new design or finish goes out the door, we give the wheel a bit of time in our photo studio. Unfortunately, we don’t always get to showcase all of these shots on our website. As part of a new series on this blog, we will begin profiling specific wheels from our lineup to give you an up close look at the details of each of our designs.
This time around, we will be profiling our F140 shown in a 19×10″ fitment. Since this is the first feature, we’re going to start off simple and showcase the Brushed Polished finish. Although the F140 typically comes standard with Titanium Hardware, this specific wheel has been outfitted with our optional chrome-plated hardware. Another extra option outfitted to this wheel is the one piece aluminum CNC-machined center cap that was brushed to match the wheel.
Oftentimes, it is hard to see the details of a finish when you’re looking at a full wheel shot. Our intention with this series is to showcase the finer details in our wheels.

Avant Garde teams up with Toshiki Yoshioka for the 2013 Formula Drift season.
The completely redesigned F130 will be making its debut at Formula Drift Long Beach.
With less than 24 hours to go until the technical inspection, Toshiki Yoshioka and his team have a LONG night ahead in order to get his BRZ together. We are very thankful that he took some time out this morning to let us stop by and interrupt their work while we snapped a few shots of his new weapon of choice for the 2013 season.
Stay tuned for more updates or stop by Toshi’s page to see how things are progressing: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Toshiki-Yoshioka/257267864321166?fref=ts
We’ll see you guys at Long Beach!
Which design would you choose for this Model S?
We had a customer drop by recently to test fit and install a set of our wheels. Luckily for us, he was kind enough to let us shoot his completely new Model S on couple other sets before deciding which ones he would go with.

Avant Garde Photos of the Year: 2012 in Review
With today being the last day of 2012, we’d like to take some time to look back on a great year here at Avant Garde!
First and foremost, we need to thank our intelligent customers, dependable dealers/distributors, and loyal fans who we owe all of our success to. In the last year, we have gone from another obscure wheel company to a prominent and respected force in the industry. With the launch of our AG Function and AG Form wheel lines, we are now in position to offer higher end, custom forged wheel options to our more discerning clientele. To those looking for a performance oriented wheel without eating into your life savings, we have added a few new designs within the last year to our Avant Garde cast wheel line as well.
We have many big plans for the next year including moving into our new, much larger facility where we can continue to grow along with our customers and dealers. For 2013, be on the look out for more designs and breakthroughs in our manufacturing which will provide our customers with more options in terms of costs and performance.
Thank you all again for your continued support, and we look forward to the next year of new opportunities!
