My New Avant Garde wheels !!

I swapped another p-Car owner some parts for his set of 19" Avant Garge Wheels for my Cayman ... they dont have any wheel spacers and they fit real flush to the end of the fenders .. I am VERY happy ..what do you guys think ? car is lowered with H&R springs as well

You can get a set of these from ChampionIShop right here on 6 speed for a great Price

I happen to be particularly fond of that style wheel and it looks GREAT on your car.

Good choice.

your car sounds pretty pimp too... AND... You just forced me to do the "free exhaust mod" on my CS... sounds BOLD... i was worried that it might sound too "rice", but being a former muscle car ('95 Z28) owner w/ an electronic Cutout, it is tame in comparison to that... it has a nice growl at startup, but at cruising speeds it sounds normal..

Since when is a “95 Z28 a “muscle car” ??



Hell, I pulled an LT-1 to put in a ’96 S-10 which I found to be too weak. I replaced it with a blown 468cu.in. Now, THAT was muscle.

Just messin’ with ya.


Back on subject, cut-outs sound great. Muscle or not...

I think those look good - can't really see them.

Speaking of wheels, at some point I may want some track wheels, and I will want them 18" unstaggered (if that's a word) so I can rotate them. So, what's the biggest 18 we can get on the front? My car is lowered w/ PSS9s and has GT3 front brakes. Thanks.

Unfortunately, it seems that your wheels (Ruger Mesh?) do not come in 5x130 18.

18x9s - 18x9.5s can be done but it's a really hard fitment.

You can rotate 255s - 265s will be difficult and vary on camber specs and tire specs.
