Looking for aftermarket 20x9.5/20x11 wheels

So far I'm considering a set of flow formed Avant Garde M520R powder coated in Gloss Black for $2800. I've cross shopped and researched MRR (reputation for poor paint finish) and Vossen (overpriced) as well as emailed Vorsteiner for a quote but have not heard back. I'm not looking to spend crazy cash on true forged wheels and I'm hoping that running a 45mm and 40mm side walls should provide adequate wheel protection. Roads over here are pretty decent, going over the occasional railroad crossings is about the only excitement.

Any thoughts on the Avant Garde or suggestions for other brands that may provide a better overall value within the "flow formed/spun forged" category of wheels?

What tire are you looking at? I could only see a 305/40r20 and nothing wider.

I've ordered a staggered set of Yokohoma Avid GT S35A in 275/45/20 and 305/40/20. Based on my research I'm estimating the side walls to sit flush to slightly stretched when mounted.

I purchased Rohana for my winter set and am really happy with how they look. They offer many cool design options and are great quality.

I ended up purchasing a set of Avant Garde M520Rs in gloss black a few weeks ago, waiting for them to arrive. My X5 is in Sapphire Black with shadow line package and blue M sport brakes, going for the murdered out look.

NoI've been running these wheels for over a year now and they've been great. Still maintaining stock height and no plans to change it.
